The R.J. Lalonde Arena has been operating under the umbrella of the Centennial Centre since the fall of 2007.

Opened on November 27, 1982, the facility is named after the late Rosaire Joseph (R.J.) Lalonde in dedication of his 19 years of volunteer service to minor hockey in Bonnyville.

Home of the Alberta Junior Hockey League Bonnyville Pontiacs, the R.J. Lalonde Arena features a 200' X 88' ice surface and seating for 1,800 spectators.

The ice season begins in August and lasts until March (longer if the Pontiacs enjoy playoff success).
