A combined curling and skating rink was built in 1909. The skating area had a width if 80 feet with a five foot walk around the inside.

In 1912, Humboldt joined the Northern Saskatchewan Hockey League which included Saskatoon, North Battleford and Prince Albert. Friday nights were band nights at the arena and it was an exciting time, especially when Saskatoon was in town for a game.

During the 1920s, the Humboldt team was called the Sunocos. Leo Parker, for whom the Leo Parker Arena is named, played on the team.

In 1930 the Humboldt team played in the Northern Saskatchewan Senior Amateur Hockey League with a new name, the Red Indians. The new name was a result of new sweaters and stockings donated by the McColl-Frontenac Oil Company.

Artificial ice plants were installed in the arena in 1951 and in the Memorial Building in 1966.

The 1955-56 hockey season saw the towns of Humboldt and Melfort join together in a new venture with a combined hockey club. They played in the Humboldt Wigwam or the Melfort Teepee. Both rinks were the same size at 85 ft. by 185 ft. and seated 1,200 spectators.

In 1957 the Humboldt Indians dropped out of Junior hockey. It wasn't until 1970 that Humboldt again had a Junior hockey team--with the new name the Humboldt Broncos.

Over the years hockey has flourished in Humboldt with the support and hard work of many local fans and businesses.
