One rink in Canada will win $250,000… let’s make it the Cochrane Arena!

It’s official, the “Ol’ Barn” is turning 50… far surpassing the 32 year lifespan expected of this type of facility, so the SLS Centre (operators of the old arena) has entered the Cochrane Arena into a contest, the Kraft Hockeyville 2023.

Should Cochrane win these funds, the Cochrane Arena would receive a renovation and improvements to all areas, such as the stands, dressing rooms and bathrooms.

As one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, keeping this rink open and in working order is in top priority, as spaces are limited as is in our community.
