Hockey Hall of Fame

The Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; it is devoted to ice hockey rather than the field variety of the game. It was founded in 1943 but no building was built until 1961, when a building was opened on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE).

In 1993 a new Hall of Fame building was opened on the Northwest corner of Yonge and Front Streets in downtown Toronto, connected through the BCE Place complex to Union Station (Toronto), Royal York Hotel, and eventually, the Air Canada Centre. It was formerly a branch of the Bank of Montreal, constructed in 1885-86. The historic building was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1976.
