ICE ARENA
ABOUT THE ICE ARENA
We are in the midst of raising funds for an NHL-sized indoor ice arena at Six Rivers Youth Sports in Topsham. To date we have raised nearly $3M of our $7M goal.
If you are passionate about a new ice arena in Midcoast Maine, please reach out to our team: info@sixriversyouthsports.org! We are always looking for more community members to join in our effort.
THE NEED
- The combined regional ice time demand for youth hockey, scholastic hockey, figure skating, and
recreational skating is more than double that which is available at Bowdoin's Watson Arena. - Figure skating clubs lack ice time to fully implement their programs and indoor public skating is not available
in our region. - Youth hockey teams average 1.5 hours of car time for each hour of skating requiring travel to Falmouth,
Auburn, Augusta and beyond. Some kids give up hockey altogether and others never try skating at all. - High school students have limited weekly practice time and rise at 4 a.m. or even earlier to practice yielding
a sleep routine that is not compatible with rigorous academic schedules and adolescent development.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Our multi-use recreation campus, including new indoor ice arena and renovated field house, will meet the high regional demand for youth sports and become a vibrant community resource for people of all ages and abilities to learn and enjoy healthy activities.
