This old arena has two rinks, and serves the Carleton Place community for hockey and entertainment.
We recently saw small kids playing hockey there, and I was surprised to find that they split the rink in half to allow 4 teams to play at the same time, with their guardians and fans in the stands... this made for a lot of people in the rink at the same time, during this pandemic.
