Since 1968, Special Olympics has been spreading the message: people with intellectual disabilities can – and will – succeed when given the opportunity. And it all happens through the simple power of sport. At Special Olympics, we believe that sports can teach us all important lessons. When we train and strive for a goal, it teaches us to dream. When we struggle, it teaches us determination. When we win, we find joy. And if we lose, we can find the strength to try again.

New Air Ducts and Evaporative Condenser

After 26 years of service, it was time to install a new evaporative condenser. Crews used a crane to remove the old unit and replace it with a brand new version of the same unit. In the process we also replaced the air ducts inside the rink. The new round design of the air ducts are meant to deflect hockey pucks much more efficiently since their round shape offers less resistance to the force of the flying hockey puck.
