The Talbot Gardens is an arena in the community of Simcoe, Ontario. Opened in 1946, Talbot Gardens played a role in filling a need for ice hockey in North America, in addition to other sports that could be played indoors during the summer months. A professional hockey team, the Norfolk IceCats, once played out of Talbot Gardens before the North Eastern Hockey League became defunct. It was also once home to the Norfolk Vikings of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League.
