“We have every-
thing from laces to
skates and cloth-

ized Graf dealer.” Vancouver Canuck and NHL

becoming a hive of community activity.
“We're already booking a lot of banquets and
weddings,” says Food and Beverage Operatox,
Kelly Willett, who adds the facility has the
capacity to host up to 400 people. “We will
close off the whole top area for special func-
tions,” says Kelly, who has hosted wrap parties
for the film industry. Groups can come out,
have a skate, and then go upstairs to dance
and have dinner. At the .

for booking. No need to worry about find-
ing a place to park, though. There are 241
spaces as well as amenities for buses and
bicycles.
And that’s great news for Dan Morrison.
“Many of our new members have been on
our waiting list for over five years — we have
players that are now starting in hockey in
their late teens. Without the new rinks, they
may never have played. We are very proud of
the new facility and are excited that we can
now focus on improving the quality of our
hockey program rather than trying te squeeze
a few more players onto already full teams.”
