Galt Arena Gardens, Heritage ice arena in Cambridge, Canada.

Galt Arena Gardens is an ice arena in Cambridge with a rectangular ice surface built for hockey and related sports. The building accommodates about 1,100 spectators and sits on Shade Street.

Galt Arena Gardens was built in 1921 and opened in January 1922 in the then-separate city of Galt, now part of Cambridge, Ontario. Four Ontario Hockey Association teams from Galt played home games there: the Galt Canadians, Galt Red Wings, Galt Rockets and Galt Black Hawks. A 1997 renovation replaced the concrete floor, spectator seating and dressing rooms, cutting capacity from 2,000 to 1,100 and closing the arena for the 1997-98 season.

Four Ontario Hockey Association clubs from Galt played home games in the arena: the Galt Canadians, Galt Red Wings, Galt Rockets and Galt Black Hawks. Gordie Howe skated here for the Galt Red Wings in the 1944-1945 season before joining the NHL. Norman Himes, later a centreman for the New York Americans, grew up across the street at 91 Shade Street and played for the Galt Terriers.

The arena sits on Shade Street in the former town of Galt, now part of Cambridge, Ontario. It closed for the entire 1997-98 season during renovations that replaced the concrete floor, spectator seating and dressing rooms. The work cut seating capacity from 2,000 to 1,100, so expect a compact rink.

Norman Himes, a centreman for the New York Americans, grew up directly across from the arena at 91 Shade Street and played OHA senior hockey for the Galt Terriers in this building. Gordie Howe skated here for the Galt Red Wings in 1944-1945 before joining the NHL.
