Ok it looks like there is a good chance Moose Jaw is getting a new 40 million dollar arena. Will seat between 4000 and 4200. So whats up with ours? If Moose Jaw goes ahead then we will have the ugliest arena in the W.H.L. and the league will come after us next for upgrades. Is our expansion ever going to happen? Here is the clip on the new rink:

With cheers of celebration, Moose Jaw City Council has approved, in principal, a new 4000-4200 seat multi purpose facility for our community.
Members of Council met following their regular meeting Monday night at City Hall to discuss the future of the project and to the joy and maybe even surprise of some of the citizens who turned out, approved initial funding for the nearly 40 million dollar project.
Moose Jaw Mayor Al Schwinghamer.
"I was very elated with the decision made by the Committee of Council. I do want to make a point that it still needs to be ratified and it'll be moving forward on December 12th... the decision made was tremendous and it was done unanimously with every member of council there voting in favour of the motion."
Mayor Al Schwinghamer says it still needs to be finalized at an actual council meeting.
"People should get out and start thinking about it. I do think the vote on the 12th will be more or less a formality because of the support that it had from council. I would say the race is on, lets get the money put together, and then lets go ahead and build it!"
While every member of council at the actual meeting voting in favor of the motion, one member didn't get the chance to vote. Councilor Brian Swanson was absent from the meetings, but will get his chance to speak at the December 12th meeting when the final vote is expected.
