Mississauga's [[Paramount Fine Foods Centre]] (formerly the Hershey Centre) is the city's main sports venue. It is the home arena for the [[Raptors 905]] of the [[NBA G League]]. The arena was originally built for Mississauga's first OHL team, the [[Mississauga Icedogs]], before they moved to [[St. Catharines]] and became the [[Niagara IceDogs]]. The Steelheads are the rebranded [[Mississauga St. Michael's Majors]] who had moved from Toronto in 2007. The arena was formerly the home of the [[Mississauga MetroStars]] of the [[Major Arena Soccer League|MASL]]. It formerly was the home arena for the [[Mississauga Power]] of the [[National Basketball League of Canada]] before the team dissolved in 2015 after the announcement of the Raptors 905. In 2018, Mississauga's City Council approved a motion to study the feasibility and business case for construction of a new stadium in Mississauga with the hope of gaining a new CPL Team.
