August 5, 2025 – The City is advancing the timeline for the reopening of Progressive Auto Sales Arena after flooding impacted the lower level of the facility on July 16.
Initial assessments estimated the facility would be closed until at least September. As efforts to expedite reopening continue, the City is currently targeting August 18 to open the facility to users.
Both ice pads have now been rebuilt, and work is currently underway to install temporary flooring to permit users to utilize the facility. Permanent replacement of the flooring will occur at a later date, which will require a short building closure. Further details will be provided in advance of that expected closure.
Please be advised that the elevator is currently unavailable due to water damage. Efforts are underway to get the elevator operational, however this make take some time.
As the City prepares for reopening, staff will be working this week on contacting those who had ice cancelled to offer them their original ice time allocations. Bookings to the wider public will resume after those impacted users are contacted. Bookings can be completed online.
Staff are excited to welcome users back to the facility and appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during this time.
