The parking lots are open. Tomorrow the office hours are noon to 5:30pm. The walking track will be open tomorrow at 9:00am. There will not be open skate or stick & puck as we are preparing for a youth hockey camp and 3 days of MIHL hockey games. ATTN ALL ARENA WALKERS: Next week the walking track will be closed ALL WEEK in order for crews to safely remove ice with necessary equipment. We will continue to do our best to get back on a regular schedule once the ice is off. Thank you!
