It was a simple case of supply and demand.
With less demand for the dry-land rink and more demand for ice time, Sportsplex has decided to add a third ice rink to their facility.
鈥淭here is definitely more demand for ice than there is for (the dry-land),鈥� said Scott Hill, Sportsplex鈥檚 facility manager, who also runs Sportsplex鈥檚 highly successful Westcoast Warriors inline hockey program.
鈥淥ur roller hockey is pretty solid, but overall, dry-land usage has shrunk so this made sense,鈥� he said.
The four-rink facility in Walnut Grove will have three ice rinks and one dry-land instead of the usual two and two.
Work is expected to begin in July and with a target opening date of late October.
