Emera Centre Northside

Emera Centre Northside is a community recreation facility, located in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. It hosts the Northside & District Minor Hockey Association and many other hockey teams. The facility includes a NHL-size ice surface arena that holds 1,000 people, an elevated indoor mondo-flex covered 1/8 mile walking track, and convention and meeting rooms.

History
In February 1999 the Department of Labour temporarily closed the North Sydney Forum. As a result of that one action, a diverse group of Northside area residents and business people came together to build a new arena. The result is the Northside Civic Centre Society and the facility itself, the Emera Centre Northside.

Notable events
In December 2013-January 2014, the Emera Centre Northside was one of the host arenas for 2014 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. Team USA went on to win the tournament 4-0 against team Pacific.
