McIntyre Community Building, Community building in Schumacher, Canada
The McIntyre Community Building is an ice arena in Schumacher with seating for about 1300 people and additional standing room. The facility features modern amenities including updated seating and a new scoreboard.
The facility was built in 1938 and has served as a central community gathering place ever since. It has remained an important part of local recreation and social life for generations.
The arena is home to the Timmins Majors AAA Midget Hockey Club of the Great North Midget Hockey League and the Timmins Rock of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. Its nickname, the "Mac", is used locally for the building opened in 1938 for McIntyre-Porcupine Mines employees and the public.
The arena stands in Schumacher, part of Timmins, at coordinates 48.47762, -81.29779. Its roughly 1,300 seats and 1,931 total capacity make it small for a city of about 45,000, so larger concerts or junior teams would require expanding toward 4,000 seats. Check the event calendar before travelling.
The arena hosted the 2010 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, an international youth hockey tournament. This event brought teams from multiple countries to the region and represented a notable milestone for the facility.
