Harding Area Arena

About Harding Area Arena

Harding Arena is located at 1496 6th St. E in St. Paul and lies directly behind Harding High School. A classic small rink that was erected in 1975 - Harding is one of the numerous Ramsey County Arena's that services the Harding Youth hockey programs. The storied Harding Boys hockey team hasn't iced a team alone for several years now, which is part of the Twin Cities growing trend of disappearing inner-city teams. Johnson and Harding games in the 1970s used to "draw thousands to see this storied rivalry", but today ironically they are in a co-op team with the historic St. Paul Johnson Governors High School team. Harding arena has nominal seating for 300 spectators to cheer on the local youth program or a late-night menu "beer league" contest.
