What visitors say
Needs some updating, be cool if they utilized metal shop and building trades to bring the facilities up to date. What a great opportunity for the high school district to incorporate.
This arena is definitely showing its age but has a good community vibe when it is active. They could stand to use the bleacher heaters more, the pro shop only has basic equipment for hockey but at least it is not crammed to the walls…
WOW..!!!!! This place is amazing. If you haven't been here but get the opportunity to attend an event, PLEASE 🙏 treat yourself and check it out. It is just amazing, and so are the people that work here. Just amazing. Bring some gloves…
