Shea's Amphitheatre, also known as the Winnipeg Amphitheatre, was an indoor arena located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which seated 5,000 spectators - Constructed in 1909, the Amphitheatre was for a time the only artificial ice surface between Toronto and Vancouver. It hosted the Memorial Cup tournament numerous times, the last of which was in 1953. For a number of years it was also the venue of the Shrine Circus. The Amphitheatre was made redundant by the construction of the Winnipeg Arena in 1955, and was demolished that summer after hosting its last event on May 31, 1955
