The Anoka Area Ice Arena Association started business in 1981 by the Anoka Area Hockey Association. There was a steering committee formed to explore the feasibility of an indoor ice arena for their association. The original building was built with volunteer labor and most materials were donated. The only part that was financed was the steal structure and the refrigeration plant. There was a pledge drive by the membership to cover all the other costs. Construction was started in July of 1981 and was completed in November of 1981.
The Anoka Area Hockey Association did because it was determined by the feasibility study that they could support an Indoor Ice Arena.
There were several other locations considered. The actual location was chosen because of its central location is the communities that the arena would serve.
Added a second sheet when the needs of the Association grew. Added artificial turf to run indoor soccer programs when hockey was not in season. Added a Pro Shop to service the needs of customers.
Being able to be debt free in 3 years as well as provide a service to the community and be totally self supportive. No tax dollars have ever been put into the building. We were able to add a second sheet of ice after 10 years of business. There has always been a demand for the service we provide so there hasn’t been any significant failures.
The successes gave us an opportunity to expand and serve the Hockey Community as they grew.
