Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex

Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex is a multi-purpose indoor sports facility in Moncton, New Brunswick. The venue opened on November 8, 2003, and operates as part of the larger CN Sportplex complex. Its principal function is to provide ice-sport and community recreation infrastructure, with four NHL-sized ice surfaces serving hockey, figure skating, ringette, lacrosse-related activities, tournaments, practices, and other organized programming. One of the rinks, the Champions Arena, has spectator seating for approximately 1,500 people, allowing the facility to host larger games and events in addition to routine community use. The complex has served as a home base for several Moncton-area sporting organizations. The Moncton Mariposa Figure Skating Club, Moncton Minor Hockey Association, Moncton Ringette Association, and Lacrosse Moncton are associated with the venue. It also previously hosted the Moncton Beavers of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League. In 2007, that team relocated to Dieppe and became the Dieppe Commandos, ending the arena's role as the club's home venue. Beyond its ice surfaces, the facility includes a pro shop, a full-service restaurant, a coffee shop, and meeting facilities. These amenities give the venue a broader community and event function rather than limiting it to rink operations. The Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex forms one component of CN Sportplex, which also includes ten ballfields, six soccer fields, and the Moncton Sports Dome, an indoor air-supported multipurpose sports dome. Together, these facilities create a concentrated sports and recreation destination in the Moncton area. The venue has operated under several commercial names. It was previously known as Tim Hortons 4 Ice Centre, Red Ball Internet Centre, and Superior Propane Centre. The current Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex name reflects a later naming-rights or commercial branding arrangement. Public reference material identifies the facility and its uses but does not establish its ownership structure, operating company, founder, or financial performance.

The facility now known as Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex opened in Moncton, New Brunswick, on November 8, 2003. It was developed as a four-rink indoor sports venue with four NHL-sized ice surfaces, providing the infrastructure required for hockey, figure skating, ringette, and other ice-based activities. The Champions Arena is the principal spectator-oriented rink and includes seating for approximately 1,500 people. From its early operating period, the venue functioned as more than a collection of ice pads. It became associated with local sports organizations, including the Moncton Mariposa Figure Skating Club, the Moncton Minor Hockey Association, the Moncton Ringette Association, and Lacrosse Moncton. Its combination of practice, competition, spectator, retail, food-service, and meeting facilities enabled it to support both regular community programming and larger organized events. The arena also had a connection with junior hockey. The Moncton Beavers of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League used the facility as their home venue until 2007. That year, the team moved to Dieppe and was renamed the Dieppe Commandos. The change ended the Beavers' tenure at the facility but did not alter the venue's broader role in Moncton-area amateur and community sports. The rink complex is part of CN Sportplex, a wider sports campus that includes ten ballfields, six soccer fields, and the Moncton Sports Dome, an indoor air-supported multipurpose sports dome. This relationship places the ice facility within a larger destination for field sports, indoor recreation, tournaments, and community events. Over time, the venue has carried several commercial names. It was previously called Tim Hortons 4 Ice Centre, Red Ball Internet Centre, and Superior Propane Centre. The current Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex name represents a later commercial identity. Publicly available reference material does not provide a detailed account of the naming-rights agreements, ownership, management structure, capital investment, or operational changes associated with each renaming. The venue's official web presence has also historically used the Superior Propane Centre domain, while the current brand is identified as Greenfoot Energy 4-Plex.
