Description

This sports arena was constructed in 1938 by the WPA.

“When opened, the facility accommodated the local hockey program and meeting spaces for community groups. The arena continued in that fashion for many years, but by mid-century, growth in the hockey program required use of all spaces for the sport alone and eventually the construction of the new arena to the east.”   (https://www.akayconsulting.com)

The arena’s final season was held in winter of 2009. The building was demolished in 2011.
