The Prince of Wales' Skating Rink, later known as The Prince's Rink and then The Arena, was a domed wooden structure ice arena located on Factory Lane in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, that operated for over 42 years. It was named in honour of Edward VII, the Prince of Wales and the eldest son of Queen Victoria. The historic Prince's Rink was a major center for skating, hockey, boxing, wrestling and other sports. The Arena hosted the first thirty-eight St. John's senior hockey league championships (Boyle Trophy) and the first seven all-Newfoundland hockey championships (Herder Memorial Trophy) before the building was destroyed by fire on November 28, 1941.
