Our History
2001
A group of dedicated community volunteers, in partnership with the Town of Cochrane, Rocky View County and hundreds of generous donors, achieved the dream of building a new hockey arena in Cochrane which is now known as Totem 1.
2004
Spearheaded by the Society, the fieldhouse was added; indoor turf (now known as the sport court), double gymnasium, Garmin sponsored 3-lane track along with UCalgary Gymnastics Centre and Fireside of Cochrane Fitness Centre.
2009
SLS Centre conducted its first major expansion, adding an additional two hockey arenas known today as Totem 2 and Totem 3.
2017
In 2017, another major expansion took place, adding a curling centre, aquatic centre, tenant spaces and fitness amenities. These expanded and new spaces will serve its communities for years to come.
Our Title Sponsor - Spray Lake Sawmills
Early 2023, brought a new name and brand for our Centre, the ‘heart of the community’. We are truly grateful and privileged to continue our longstanding partnership with Spray Lake Sawmills (SLS). They were one of the driving forces behind this facility years ago and are a hallmark of this great community. We are honoured to call them our partner and naming sponsor. Spray Lake Sawmills has been in operation in Cochrane since 1969 and has become Cochrane's largest long-term employer providing extensive economic activity for hundreds of local and provincial suppliers. We whole-heartedly thank them for their continued support.
