On November 1st, 1997, The Hangar Sport & Events Centre opened its doors and quickly became known as the place to play indoor soccer in Toronto. The venue consisted of five indoor artificial turf fields, and was a catalyst for the growth of indoor soccer in Ontario. Prior to being an indoor sports facility, the buildings were owned by Dehavilland Aircraft Company. The facility produced thousands of planes including The Avro Anson, The Tiger Moth, and The Mosquito Fighter-Bomber. Today The Hangar Sport and Events Centre consists of four indoor soccer fields, a ball hockey arena, two multi-sport courts, and three outdoor full-size artificial turf soccer fields.
