Medicine Hat Arena to close after 46 years
The Medicine Hat Arena, a 4 000 seat facility, will be permanently closed this summer due to finances. The city will solicit proposals from user groups or developers to take over the rink, with a $700 000 annual operating deficit and $2.5 million in planned maintenance avoided by closing. Hockey programs and tournaments based at the arena would be affected, while a Save the Arena Committee seeks options for continued operation as a tournament space or non-profit entity.
