The Fort William Gardens is a 4,690-capacity (3,371-seat) multi-purpose arena, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It opened in 1951.
Previous tenants include the Thunder Bay Flyers, of the 'Junior A' United States Hockey League, the Thunder Bay Senators/Thunder Bay Thunder Cats, of the Colonial Hockey League (which became the United Hockey League) and the Thunder Bay Twins (senior men's hockey). Since 2001, the Gardens has been home to the Lakehead Thunderwolves men's university hockey program and has also played host to a Superior International Junior Hockey League team. The Thunder Bay Bulldogs called the Gardens home, from 2001 to 2005, then were replaced by the Fort William North Stars.

How Nature always does contrive
That every boy and every gal,
That’s born into the world alive,
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conservative!”

Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.”
