Canteen
“There is a canteen. Whether it takes cards or is cash only is not known — bring some cash and you are covered either way.”
Local knowledge, told to us directly. The half that is not known is left unknown rather than filled in, 2026-09-14.
The story
“The Town of Lewisporte says the arena is named for Mike Austin of Lewisporte, known locally as ‘Awesome Mike’ — an athlete who, living with permanent physical and intellectual disabilities, has won over 200 medals at local, provincial and national level. The Town lists three golds at the 2003 Special Olympic Winter Games in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, a gold and a silver at the 2010 Special Olympic Games in London, Ontario, and a gold and a bronze at the 2014 Vancouver Special Olympics. It says he is a fixture at hockey games here, a fiercely competitive slo-pitch, mixed bowling and floor hockey player, and the holder of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the key to the town.”
