Varsity Arena is an arena in Toronto, Ontario. It is primarily home to the ice hockey teams of the University of Toronto, though it also hosted the Toronto Toros of the WHA from 1973-1974. It opened on December 17, 1926
One of the first indoor arenas to be built without pillars in the seating area to block the line of sight, Varsity Arena sat close to 4,800 at the time of its construction. The seating capacity was reduced to 4,116 by renovations in 1985-86, which expanded the ice sheet to professional standards and eliminated fire code violations that had been found in 1977.
