Gordon Lathlin Memorial Centre

Gordon Lathlin Memorial Centre is an indoor ice hockey arena located on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation reserve near The Pas, Manitoba, Canada.

The 1,100-seat arena was built in 1985, and since 1996 has been home to the OCN Blizzard, who play in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.[1] During a four-month off-season for hockey each year, the centre is used for social gatherings, concerts, and weddings.[2]

The arena is named after the late Gordon Lathlin, who served as the Opaskwayak's chief from 1967 to 1974.[3][4]

In 2012, a second hockey tenant began play at the GLMC when OCN Storm joined the Keystone Junior Hockey League.
