Oakville Museum Exhibit: The Home Team Wins, Oakville’s Hockey Clubs

Access

About

People have been playing hockey in Oakville for well over 100 years. Long before artificial rinks, organized leagues, and matching uniforms, folks were strapping on skates and shoveling off sections of frozen ponds and rivers to play with friends and family.

This display spans the history of Oakville’s hockey teams from their modest beginnings on local waterways to the dozens of competitive teams representing our community at local, provincial, and national levels today.

This exhibit is located at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex, 3070 Neyagawa Blvd.

Oakville Museum

The historic buildings of Erchless Estate, once home to Oakville's founding family, are now the setting for the Oakville Museum. We offer guided tours of the Chisholm family home, changing exhibitions, special events and programs that tell the fascinating stories of our town. Visitors can stroll through the grounds and explore the many points of historical interest while enjoying picturesque lakeside views. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m. General admission is by donation.

Oakville Museum exhibits are also on display in our satellite gallery at QEP Community and Culture Centre (2303 Bridge Road) and recreation facilities across Oakville.

The Oakville Museum is located on the lands of Treaties 14 & 22, the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Treaty holders, for being stewards of this traditional territory.
