Humber Gardens

The Humber Gardens was a former ice arena in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador located at 137 O'Connell Drive.

A number of fundraisers were organized by the Humber Gardens Committee and the people of Corner Brook including selling shares in the new rink to the public.

The committee lobbied the provincial government for assistance and as a result were given a $100,000 interest-free loan in the fall of 1954.

[1] The cornerstone was paid on December 12, 1954, by H. Montgomery Lewin, then general manager of Bowater's operations in Corner Brook and was completed at the end of March 1955.

Humber Gardens was the home of the provincial senior hockey's Corner Brook Royals until 1997 when it was replaced by the Pepsi Centre.
