Description

The Metro Centre, with a capacity of 10,000, is home to junior hockey's Mooseheads and full to the rafters when the team is on ice. The Centre plays host to any number of large events: championship figure skating, basketball, and, in September, at least one NHL pre-season game. If sports are not your idea of a good time, don't despair, because concerts of all shapes and sizes occur throughout the year; another yearly highlight is the Nova Scotia International Tattoo. Call for times and ticket prices.
