Question 3: Ice Arena

Multi-Purpose Arena/Seasonal Ice Rink

Question Three proposes a multi-purpose single sheet ice arena to be connected to the new PreK-12 facility. The multi-purpose arena would be used for physical education classes across all grade levels as well as for the girls and boys high school hockey teams. When not in use by the district, open ice time will be made available to local hockey associations and for community use. The arena would double the number of ice sheets available to the Wahpeton-Breckenridge area.

​Question 2 must pass before Question 3 can pass.

Educational Space
The multi-purpose arena and ice rink would be available for use by physical education classes across all grades. This allows for more usability of the arena during times of inclement weather as well as incorporating more opportunities into the physical education curriculum. 

Community Use
Although the proposed ice rink will primarily be for educational purposes for our students, ice skating is an extremely popular recreational activity for many in our district as is figure skating; its use by our community is an added benefit. Ice time will be made available to local hockey associations when not in use by the district and they will also be able to sponsor tournaments throughout the season.

Hockey Program
The Breckenridge school district has an established boys’ hockey program which we currently co-op with Wahpeton, North Dakota schools. This program plays under the rules of the Minnesota State High School League, however, because there is not an ice rink in Breckenridge, our team must practice and play all games on the single sheet of ice in Wahpeton. This is not ideal since all playoff games are against Minnesota teams. Additionally, as the Breckenridge girls’ hockey team moves from a club sport to a MSHSL Varsity sport this year, there will be additional need for ice time not only for practice but games as well. ​
