Allan is a town in west central Saskatchewan, Canada about 60 km southeast of Saskatoon.
History[]
Allan was incorporated as a village on June 9, 1910, though the first homesteaders first started arriving in 1903 consisting of nine families that travelled together. It was incorporated as a town in 1965. Those nine families finally settled in what is now the district of Allan in early June of 1903 after rejecting several previous land claims they were unhappy with. [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, the Humboldt Broncos captain who was from Allan and died in the Humboldt 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]
