鈥淭he Comox Valley is passionate about hockey and the local arena is what brings us together as fans, friends, family, and ultimately as a community. To keep the game alive in Comox Valley, our arena needs upgrades and repairs,鈥� said Comox Valley Glacier King co-owner Marsha Webb.
According to Kraft Hockeyville, the [Comox Valley] arena is hoping to fund improvements for 鈥渢he cold rink鈥� by installing over-head heaters making it a much more comfortable place for visitors.
