Shellbrook community spirit on full display for Hockey Day
Taking advantage of some perfectly chilly days, Shellbrook celebrated Canada’s most famous game with two days dedicated to hockey.
All of Shellbrook’s teams played on Hockey Day to promote the sport and raise funds for the rink, which is in “desperate need for repairs,” according to committee member Stephanie Gosselin.
The ice surface, as well as the cement and pipes underneath the ice, all need to be replaced. The boards are getting old, and the Zamboni will need to be upgraded.
All told, Gosselin estimates it will take $1 million to completely repair the rink.
