Built in 1986, the Bill Brewster Arena is a cornerstone of winter recreation in Haines Junction. The arena is open from mid October through to the end of March. Minor Hockey has operated in the community for 50 years and consistently has 50-60 players which keep several volunteer coaches busy each season. The sport brings significant economic development to the community through offering games, hosting Yukon Championship, women's jamboree, power skating clinics, learn to skate clinics, skills camp, all girls hockey camp and a fun Christmas All-Star weekend for the kids.

During the winter, the school books the arena regularly to provide skating and hockey as part of their Physical Education program. For adult players, Haines Junction also has Old-timer's and Female Hockey leagues.

In recent years, the arena has accommodated curling, and one or two bonspiels are hosted annually with curlers from around the territory. A popular weekend broomball tournament winds up every arena season.
