Harbour Station

Harbour Station is an arena located in the uptown area of Saint John, New Brunswick.

It was the home of the American Hockey League's Saint John Flames from 1993 until their demise in 2003.

As of the 2005-06 hockey season, it is the home of the Saint John Sea Dogs, of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

In 2010, it became the home of the Saint John Mill Rats of the National Basketball League of Canada.

The arena sits on land that used to be part of Saint John Harbour, and partly derives its name from the city's former Union Station passenger railway terminal. The station was located on the site and was used by both CNR and CPR trains, until it was demolished to make way for the Saint John Throughway as part of an urban redevelopment scheme in the early 1970s.

The arena opened in October 1993 to a gala and a concert by Aerosmith which was attended by over 7,000 people, a record that was broken in 2008 by Elton John who brought in 8,100 fans. Since opening, the arena has hosted concerts, hockey, basketball, figure skating and a number of trade shows each year.

Harbour Station is connected by Saint John's pedway system — the Inside Connection — to the major uptown malls, hotels, parking garages and offices, allowing patrons to park their vehicles away from the stadium and reach it on foot without stepping outdoors.
