RBC Centre (Sarnia)
The Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre or SSEC, presently known as the RBC Centre for sponsorship reasons, is a 5,500-capacity (4,118-seated) multi-purpose arena in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. It is located on the campus of Lambton College and opened in September 1998. The RBC Centre is currently home to the Sarnia Sting OHL ice hockey team. And the Sarnia Legionnaires Jr. 'B' hockey club holds its training camp at the facility before moving over to the old Sarnia Arena for its regular schedule.
The arena features two NHL-sized ice pads, 43 luxury suites, and an in-house, full-service restaurant.
Artists such as Crash Test Dummies, Blue Man Group and Bryan Adams have played there, and it has also hosted Stars on Ice.
Originally known as the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre, the Royal Bank Of Canada purchased the naming rights of the arena in October 2009 and it is now known as the RBC Centre.

Famous quotes containing the word centre:
“Freedom to think our own thoughts, freedom to utter them, freedom to live out the promptings of our inner life ultimated in this convention, was termed a monstrosity of the 19th century. What was it?—the legitimate out-birth of the eternal law of progress. This reformation underlies every other; it is the only healthful centre around which hope of humanity can revolve.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
