Allan is atown in west centralSaskatchewan, Canada, about 65 kilometres south-east ofSaskatoon.
Allan was incorporated as a village on June 9, 1910, though the first homesteaders, consisting of nine families travelling together, first started arriving in 1903. It was incorporated as a town in 1965. Those nine families finally settled in what is now the district of Allan in early June 1903 after rejecting several previous land claims with which they were unhappy.[1]
The town of Allan renamed the hockey rink in the Allan & District Communiplex to the Logan Schatz Memorial Rink in 2019.[2] This was done in remembrance to Logan Schatz, theHumboldt Broncos captain who was from Allan and died in theHumboldt Broncos bus crash.[2] Schatz is remembered as a natural leader, a good skater, and will be forever remembered by Allan and its surrounding communities.[2]
The facility was built in 1982
