Upper Skeena Arena News

Upper Skeena Recreation Centre  //  The current arena in the Hazeltons is old, outdated, and is suffering from severe structural problems. The ice arena has been a critical part of the community for generations, in the past hosting countless hockey practices, games and tournaments. In addition to hockey, the arena was the heart of the community and hosted many community functions such as graduations, community dances, and weddings.

The SIAA has been working for years to raise funds to build a new arena. Until recently, the project has been slow. Local organizations and governments have provided some seed funding and support. The grassroots Hockeyville campaign garnered thousands of stories and photos about the old arena. Project managers were recently hired who have experience with capital fundraising and building projects, and the new arena is moving forward.
