The arena was also the home of the Buffalo Bisons ice hockey team; for a brief period in 1931, it also served as the backup arena for their crosstown rivals, the Buffalo Majors, who normally played at Broadway Auditorium. On March 17, 1936, the roof collapsed after thirteen inches of heavy snowfall, which ensured the original hockey Bisons' demise.
Eventually, in 1940, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, on the American side of the border, would open, replacing both Broadway Auditorium and Peace Bridge Arena; with it, a new Bisons team would be established.
