About The Saskatoon Blades

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is home to one of the oldest and most respected teams in the Western Hockey League. Founded in 1964 and playing in what is now the WHL since its inception in 1966, the Saskatoon Blades is the only original team in the WHL never to have relocated or switched leagues. In addition to Hockey Hall of Famer Bernie Federko, notable former Blades alumni include Braden Holtby, Mike Babcock, Brayden Schenn, Wendel Clark, and former Blades coach Brad McCrimmon.

The Saskatoon Blades play in the SaskTel Centre, which opened in 1988 as Saskatchewan Place and seats 15,100 for hockey. It is the third-largest full-time arena in the WHL and the largest not to concurrently host an NHL team. The SaskTel Centre has been expanded and renovated twice — for the 1991 and 2010 World Junior Hockey Championships — and has hosted the 1989 and 2013 Memorial Cups. 

The SaskTel Centre also is home to the 2018 National Lacrosse League champion Saskatchewan Rush, and is where Bret "The Hitman" Hart won his first WWE Championship against "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in 1992. A nearby street is named after "Wild Bill" Hunter, who helped found the WHL and the Edmonton Oilers, and whose efforts to move the St. Louis Blues to his native Saskatoon in the '80s eventually led to the development of the SaskTel Centre. 

The remains of Saskatoon-based legend Gordie Howe and his wife Colleen are interred at the base of a statue of him outside the SaskTel Centre, making it a necessary pilgrimage for die-hard hockey fans.

The Saskatoon Blades are in the East Division of the Western Hockey League's Western Conference, along with the Swift Current Broncos, Brandon Wheat Kings, Moose Jaw Warriors, and their two main rivals, the Prince Albert Raiders and the Regina Pats. The Blades have won nine East Division regular season titles, have appeared in the league finals five times, and were runners-up in the 1989 Memorial Cup, which they hosted.

    cowbells and horns ruin Blades game

    by nl on 12/13/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    Having someone behind you ring a cowbell or blow a horn in your ears ruins the experience of a great Blades game. I love the loud music and party atmosphere, but shouldn't have to endure assaults on my ears. Ban them or seat those fans in a section by themselves. Maybe they won't like the receiving end of the experience either.

    discriminates against tall people

    by ags453 on 6/16/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall. the seating is so uncomfortable that my legs were numb and asleep during periods of play. (standing in the intermissions). will not come back. hopefully the new arena build won't discriminate against tall people.

    Round 1 Playoff Win for Blades

    by Leighton on 4/16/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    Good view of game from lower upper level. Exciting game right to the end. Blades came up on top against the Pats. Good to watch some future NHLers.

    Game experience

    by Jeff on 4/13/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    The arena is a dump, sat in sec 38, Media boxes block the view of the big screen for whole upper bowl on that side. Could hardly hear the announcer for the same reason. Wash room facilities are about 50% of what would be considered sufficient

    Fun, but with issues

    by TheRock12 on 4/13/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    The games was great, and so was the crowd. The venue has seating for 15,000 but it is not designed for 15,000 people. The walkways are small, and have vendors setup throughout that cause blockages to the flow. There are not enough bathrooms, and again create lines that limit the flow of traffic. In the upper section the seats are too close to be comfortable for a 3 hour event. While there is lots of parking at the venue, they close a bunch of the entrances/exits which creates a traffic jam. They do have workers to help control the flow of traffic, but they are not trained properly (or at all) which makes the experience frustrating. I was in a line of traffic that didnt move a cm in 20 minutes, how does that happen with people controlling the FLOW of traffic.

    Overall, it was a good experience.

    by Cam on 4/3/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    We had to park in the mud, which was terrible. The traffic after the game was incredibly bad as we tried to get out of there. Also, the sound system was inaudible. We couldn't understand any of the goal or penalty announcements in our section, 5. The pre game on-ice festivities were very well done -- loved the mascot on the quad! Good job!

    Sound system

    by Disappointed fan on 3/27/23SaskTel Centre - Saskatoon

    I took my nephews to their first time to a Blades game. The sound system was blown in section 7 and we could not understand anything. It was so disappointing we left after first period and listened to game in my car. Very bad first experience
