Arena closure affects 2020-2021 season
2020-08-22
The Frontenac Community Arena has had to suspend operations for the 2020-2021 season due to mechanical failures.
The Frontenac Community Arena Board announced August 21, 2020 it had made the difficult decision to close the arena for the 2020-2021 season. This means the Frontenac Fury Girls' Hockey Association does not currently have a home rink.
The decision to suspend arena use is the result of significant and unexpected mechanical issues related to the chilling system for the ice surface. The issues were discovered during recent ice reparations. Arena staff have been working hard to find solutions that wouldn’t result in the arena closure, but they were unable to find workable options.
You can read the full arena statement and frequently asked questions here.
As you know, the Frontenac Fury Girls’ Hockey Association was already heavily involved in contingency planning for what the 2020-2021 hockey season might look like. This latest development has us adapting and adjusting our plans yet again. Since we were notified of the issue late August 20), we have been working with neighbouring centres to see if our hockey program might be accommodated elsewhere. We ask for your continued patience as we sort through some complex logistics.
We know you have many questions – we do, too. We will continue to keep you informed as we receive new information. We will do our best to ensure our players have an opportunity to play hockey safely – whatever that looks like – this season.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
