Ice hockey arena in Simcoe, Ontario
The Talbot Gardens is a hockey arena in the Canadian community of Simcoe, Ontario. Opened in 1946, Talbot Gardens played a role in filling a need for ice hockey in North America in addition to other sports that could be played indoors during the summer months. A professional hockey team, the Norfolk IceCats, once played out of Talbot Gardens before the North Eastern Hockey League became defunct. It was also once home to the Norfolk Vikings of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League.
A Junior "C" team, the Simcoe Shamrocks of the Niagara & District Junior C Hockey League played at this arena until 2018.
