What To Know About The CAA Centre

FTP Feel The Power visits the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, in 2025, and the venue is no stranger to competitive cheer and other major sporting events, though hockey reigns supreme north of the border.

The multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex opened in 1998 and features four NHL-size hockey rinks, with seating for more than 5,000 around one, and a 250-seat restaurant that overlooks the three community rinks.

The hockey resources are used for leagues, training, schools, and recreation. There’s even a hockey pro shop on-site. The venue also is home to the Brampton Steelheads, a junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League.

When hockey isn’t happening, the facility opens to graduations, worship events, trade shows, film shoots, sporting events, concert,s and professional basketball.

In November 2022, it was announced that with the closing of the FirstOntario Centre (home of the 2023 FTP Feel The Power event) in nearby Hamilton, Ontario, for renovations, the Honey Badgers basketball team from the Canadian Elite Basketball League would move to Brampton and the CAA Centre.

Rather than be displaced for the two years it will take for the renovations, the team, which won the league title in 2022, is making the move permanent. The CEBL season traditionally begins in May.

The CAA Centre complex also is home to the Brampton Sports Hall of Fame, which was founded in 1979 and recognizes athletes who shined in their respective sports during the time they resided in Brampton.
