Steele Community Centre

The Steele Community Centre is an indoor arena and fitness centre located in Gander, Newfoundland. The ice arena seats 1,100 and contains an NHL sized rink (200'x85'). The facility was opened on May 5, 2000. The facility was previously named the Gander Community Centre.

The facility is home to the Gander Flyers senior hockey team.

The facility became an emergency "walk-in fridge" on September 11, 2001 when 38 planes were forced to land at the Gander Airport containing over 6,500 passengers and crew and no other cold storage facility was readily available in the area to handle the large amount of donations made by local residents.

The arena served as a makeshift theater when the off-Broadway premier of "Come From Away" premiered at the arena as a tribute to the people of Gander and the surrounding area for their efforts to help with people that were stranded in the town after the attacks of September 11th.
