The Memorial Stadium was a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is the former home of the St. John's Maple Leafs of the American Hockey League (1991-2001). The building opened in December 1954, after St. John's previous indoor arena, Prince's Rink, burned down in 1941. The demands of the Second World War prevented the city from replacing it until well after the war ended.
