- Canada does not have a national stadium/arena for ice hockey. The national team plays at several venues throughout the country.
- Canada does not have a national curling rink. The Canadian national team is selected by tournament, and is not a standing team.
Note that in Canada, national team matches occupy a relatively minor place in the overall sports landscape, except during international ice hockey tournaments. Media and fan attention focuses mainly on the country's major professional leagues and on major junior ice hockey.
Prior to confederation into Canada, the Dominion of Newfoundland used King George V Park as its national stadium.
