Fort William outdoor skating rink

The Fort William outdoor skating rink was an outdoor rink located in Fort William, Ontario. The outdoor arena was needed as the Fort William Arena had burned down on the same site in 1912. The rink was used from 1913 to 1918 as the Prince of Wales Arena (Fort William) opened for the 1919 playing season on the same location. Canada was involved in the First World War from August of 1914 until November of 1918 and the enclosing of the rink was not a priority.
