The World U17 Hockey Challenge exhibition game took place in Amherst on October 31, 2025. The Stadium was buzzing as Canada Red faced off against Czechia for the scariest gameplay this side of the border. Fans went wild as Canada played an excellent game and won 6-5 against their Czech opponents.
Hours of operation for the indoor walking and jogging track at the Amherst Stadium can vary - it is best to consult the calendar for the days that you would like to use the facility.
