Magic Valley ID Group Has Plans For Indoor Hockey, Skating Rink

News of a proposed indoor ice facility in southern Idaho is slowly circulating online throughout multiple communities. Such a project would cost a good deal of money, but would be beneficial for families with kids wanting to get serious about a future in ice sports such as skating and hockey.

Hockey and ice skating may not be wildly popular in the southern Idaho desert, but plans to construct a facility where area youth can enjoy some rink time are an exciting prospect and provide another activity for Magic Valley families who enjoy staying active.

Any option that replaces hours spent in front of our electronics with physical activity should be pursued for the sake of health.
