Temple Gardens Centre (formerly Mosaic Place) is a multi-purpose arena in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada.[2] It hosts ice hockey and curling events and is home to the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League. It opened on August 19, 2011 and seats upwards of 4,414 spectators. It replaced the Warriors' former arena, the Moose Jaw Civic Centre.
History[]
By the early 2000s, the Moose Jaw Civic Centre faced criticism that it was too small and not up to standards for the Warriors hockey team. A civic referendum in 2006 approved construction of a new $36.3 million arena, with the city contributing $15 million. Soon after, plans emerged for a more ambitious $61.2 million facility, with $36.5 million coming from the city.[3][4] A group of citizens sued the city, claiming that the referendum vote in 2006 did not allow the city to spend more than the original amount.[5] The case was dismissed, and civic voters approved the project again in 2009 with a second referendum.[6]
The entire project cost about $61 million, with the city of Moose Jaw paying $34.5 million. Provincial and federal governments paid $8 million and community fundraising committed to $10 million. Groundbreaking for the new facility took place on July 9, 2009.[7] In August 2011, the naming rights were sold to The Mosaic Company under a ten-year agreement, naming the arena Mosaic Place.[8] The arena was opened to the public on August 19, 2011,[9] while the Moose Jaw Warriors played their first home opener on September 23—losing to the Brandon Wheat Kings.[10]
The naming rights were renewed into 2022, and expired on August 31, 2022; the Mosaic branding was removed, and the arena adopted the non-sponsored name Moose Jaw Events Centre until such time a new naming rights agreement was reached.[11] In March 2025, the naming rights were acquired by Peepeekisis Developments, Ltd., owners of the downtown Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa, under a five-year deal renaming the arena Temple Gardens Centre.[12]
