“Te community skates offer fun music for families to skate to and the awarding of prizes and treats, making it a fun afternoon or evening of skating.”
One of the most memorable special
events held at the arena was Super Stars on Ice, in which residents with physical and emotional disabilities were able to take to the ice, many for the first time, in their wheelchairs or on hockey sleds.
Most recently, Doug Woog held a Fill
the Plate event where skaters brought non-perishable food items for donation to those in need. “Young and old strapped on skates and skated for the local food bank,” says Dwelle. “Hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food items were received. Coordinators are already planning to make this an annual event.”
Te arena was also proud to host the
first-ever Governor’s Inaugural Hockey Game in 2003. Over the years, many dry- floor events have been offered as well, including concerts, dances, graduations, roller derby, circuses, home and garden shows and festivals.
