Copp's Curling Rink: 1904-1918
In 1904, the Copp brothers abandoned their first curling rink on Weldon Street after building a second curling rink on Main Street, which extended west toward Lansdowne Street, near the town gazebo on the north side. This rink, which opened on 17 December 1904, was shorter but wider than their Weldon Street skating rink.
Although built primarily for curling, recreational skating was also held at the curling rink on Saturday evenings. In January 1905, it had telephones installed. The curling rink was used by Mount Allison students for recreational skating and hockey between 1915 and 1918, and was even used by the University for an indoor track meet in December 1911.
