The Markham Centennial Centre is a 2,300-seat arena located in the Toronto suburb of Markham. It was built in 1972 as a 1,800 seat arena, it has undergone renovations, the last in 1999. The arena was home to the Markham Waxers junior team in the OPJHL, and also occasionally hosted the Toronto Marlboros of the Ontario Hockey League in the mid 1970s. Beginning in 2015 the arena will be home ice for the Markham Royals, who succeeds the Waxers at the city's OPJHL team.

The rink surface is NHL regulation size.

Renovations to the Centre have added fitness rooms, meeting rooms and a swimming pool. A skate park is located to the west of the Centre.
