The Vernon Civic Arena was home of senior mens and junior hockey in Vernon since the late 1930's.

The Vernon Vipers left the Civic Arena in 2001 moving into the Vernon Multi-Plex (Now Kal Tire Place) in 2001.

The first hockey game was played at the Civic Arena January 6th 1938 between the Vancouver Lions and Spokane Clippers with the final junior hockey game played January 6th 2018 between the Vernon Vipers & Prince George Spruce Kings. Prince George defeated Vernon 3-2 before a sellout crowd of 2,380

The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1982 through the vision of Vernon resident and sports enthusiast, Nick Alexis. With the support of Vernon City Council, Alexis and a dedicated group of volunteers created a series of outdoor exhibits celebrating the region’s dynamic sporting history in Vernon’s Cenotaph Park. That same year, the new organization unveiled its first round of inductees to the Hall of Fame. Several years later, in 2001, the Hall of Fame moved its exhibits into the newly constructed Vernon Multiplex now known as Kal Tire Place.
