East Hants Sportsplex
Ph: 902 883 9906

-------
The East Hants Arena Association is a volunteer group of citizens from East Hants formed in the mid 1940’s which built the original Lantz Arena that opened in 1948. The arena or “East Hants Barn” as it is fondly remembered, was heavily used by hockey teams and skaters. Due to over-demand and the passage of time, the arena was due to be replaced by the late 1980’s.
The arena association began the process of raising funds for, and constructing the current East Hants Sportsplex as it exists today.
It opened in early 1993, and has been one of the most utilized ice surfaces in the region.
