The rink renovation of Cantiague Park is nearing final completion. As the fall begins and the hockey season begins, the new and improved Cantiague Park Ice Rink is ready for action. The two-month long project is in its very final stages, as the ice is being built up and is prepped for hockey action beginning the weekend of Sept. 11th. Do yourself a favor and stop by and take a look at the final project. Many thanks to all who had a part in this project and all those who have played a role in making the renovation of the Cantiague Park Ice Rink a reality.
