    I caught a Brantford 99ers game here one night when I was passing through to run the Hamilton…read moreMarathon. The facility is top-notch and one of the best that I've seen in southern Ontario. The main rink has lots of chair-back seating and is more than enough for the crowds that minor hockey typically draws. The production of the game itself was pretty good, not unlike any junior or lower-level minor hockey game. The price of admission ($10) is more than fair for an evening of entertainment. There were concessions available outside in the large lobby area, but I didn't test anything out this time. Parking is plentiful and there are several entrances on all sides of the building. If you park at the wrong entrance for the program you're attending, you could be in for a long walk. All in all, a gem of a facility that Brantford should be proud of. If you're in need of something to do, a 99ers game is definitely worth your while.

    I was very impressed with this outfit, from the size of the complex to the multitude of things they…read moreoffered inside. We didn't have enough time to enjoy it all, but it was worth the visit! We saw at least two rinks (of course!), a sporting goods store, at least one restaurant, and also lots of wide open, brightly lit spaces. The service we got at this location was good. I would love it if we had the occasion to go back! A very nice place.

    I was recently at Iroquois Park Complex. It wasn't for sports. I was here meeting up with friends…read morefor lunch at BarDown Gastropub. It's the only restaurant at this sports complex that operates separately from the concessions stands at the complex itself. This sports centre is Canada's largest municipally owned and operated recreation facility. It's huge, as it houses six arenas. Many hockey teams are here to practise and play, including the Whitby Wildcats. It also has two indoor pools. BarDown Gastropub is great if you want to grab a bite to eat before or after a game. Our group wasn't here for sports, so it works for lunch and dinner. The food is excellent. It also houses the largest screen in Whitby to see the latest sports games. Since the City of Whitby owns this property, it has a contract with Pepsi. You get Pepsi products at concession stands, vending machines, and BarDown Gastropub. There are banquet and meeting rooms that you can rent. It also has a pro shop to get your skates sharpened and athletic training facilities. When it's warmer outside, this place has six tennis courts, five baseball diamonds, and a soccer field open. It's huge here. There is lots of parking. It's free. I was here with friends on a Sunday afternoon. This sports complex is open every day from 8:30 am till roughly 8:30 pm. If you have a water bottle, you can fill it up at the water bottle fill-up station. It was nice checking this place out briefly. It's cool and a valuable asset to Whitby and beyond. (79)

    My friends and their kids play hockey at this location. It has 6 pads. If you're a spectator late…read morein the evening to watch shinny, there is no heat in the stands. Pad 6 is the coldest; bring a blanket. During the day, the heaters are on and the coffee shop and food stands are open. Reasonable pricing for an arena. They keep the place pretty clean, too.

    My best friend gave me tickets to see the Toronto Rock host the Georgia Swarm at this venue…read moretonight. I took my sweetie who has never ever watched a lacrosse game. It was an uneventful QEW drive to/from Hamilton, which is unusual. I lucked out on street parking because someone pulled out of a spot 100 metres from the stadium. I happened to be there to add a loonie to the meter since there was time remaining and paid parking ends at 6 p.m. Like all sporting venues during an event, hordes of fans, a beehive of activity from lineups for washrooms, alcohol, snacks or memorabilia, to just trying to find your seats. It's all good! Too bad lady luck didn't smile for the home team this evening. Attendance logged in at 8,841. Note to all: no outside drinks or food allowed upon entry.

    I went to this location to get my second shot. By the time I got here, they only had Moderna…read morevaccines available, but one of my friends got their second dose of Pfizer vaccine here a few days after me. They either didn't have free parking available or it wasn't properly communicated. So, I parked on the opposite of the street, where there were signs saying "$5 parking for vaccination only". The whole in and out process took only 30 minutes and all the staff and volunteers were really friendly and helpful. They were doing a great job that required a lot of patience. Kudos to them all!
