CN Sportplex History
Click to view larger photo
For much of
the 20th century, Moncton and CN were synonymous in the
minds of our citizens. Everyone had a family member that
worked in the Shops on the city's west side. The railway
is what built this country, and Moncton's history is inextricably
linked with CN, the company largely responsible for this
city's phenomenal economic growth and development through
most of the 1900's. Though no longer the Eastern Canadian
headquarters for CN, Moncton continues to be proud of its
railway heritage.
Following it's
closure, the CN property sat idle until 1997, when the Canada
Lands Company undertook a massive redevelopment and clean-up
of the 282 acre site. This award-winning brownfield redevelopment
provided an opportunity for a significant part of Moncton's
history to be reborn in a business and technology park (Emmerson
Park) and the CN Sportplex, home to four ice pads, ten baseball
fields, and six soccer fields dedicated to the youth of
our city.
For this revitalization,
the Canada lands Company won the first International Phoenix
Award given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
and they also received the Canadian Urban Institute Brownie
Award for Best Overall Environment Project in Canada. The
City of Moncton received the Scotts Turf Builder Award,
through the Communities in Bloom Canada competition, for
the best sports field turf in Canada.
The CN Sportplex
and Tim Hortons 4-Ice Centre are a lasting tribute to the
commitment of Mayor Brian Murphy in fostering sustainable
partnerships focused on enhancing quality of life for the
citizens of Moncton. Thanks to City Council, in partnership
with the Canada Lands Company, Moncton Arena Partners, and
with the support of corporate partners such as CN and Tim
Hortons, Moncton continues to lead the way in recreational
facilities and economic development.

Naming
of the Ice Surfaces
The Tim Hortons 4-Ice Centre has been developed as the focal point
for community ice sports within the City of Moncton. In keeping
with this sense of community, Moncton City Council selected names
reflective of our sports heritage, as a step in linking the community
and the complex.

The Carroll Brothers
Hockey Team consisted of eight sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Carroll of Sunny Brae, Harold, Blair, Jack, Cecil, George,
Fred, Ken and Tom.
The team's first performance
was in 1923 as they took on the Moncton Victorias, finalist
for the Maritime Semi-Pro Championship, winning the three
game series by scores of 8-4, 6-2 and 2-1.
The record shows that each
of the Carroll Boys had offers to play hockey in Boston,
Hew York and Springfield as well as major Canadian centres.
The Carroll Family occupy a
promient position in hockey annals. the family became widely
known for their hockey exploits and it is felt that such
talent from one family will never again be equaled.
With the decommissioning of
the current Carroll Arena in Sunny Brae, the family history
and tradition will remain a part of Moncton sport history,
with its transfer to the 4-Ice Centre.

Clarence Girouard has been a familiar face to the minor hockey
community for over forty years. Dating back to the Moncton
Stadium, Clarence could be found refereeing in his winter
boots, taking responsibility for the accounting of equipment,
or serving as a manager for various teams. Regardless of
the task that required completion, Clarence was a willing
volunteer ready to accept the work assigned. Clarence has
been recognized by many individual leagues, tournaments
and associations for his contributions to amateur hockey
and baseball.
