 In 1991, the IIHF reached an agreement with the city of Kingston, Ontario, and the International Hockey Hall of Fame, to loan its exhibits to the museum for a five-year period from 1992 to 1997, while a more permanent display was being planned.Kingston City Council provided a line of credit towards building a true international ice hockey museum.The temporary setup for the IIHF exhibits was located adjacent to the Kingston Memorial Centre, but that partnership ended in 1997, when the IIHF withdrew.
