It's a hockey rink disguesed as a health center. Great hockey rink.

Well maintained, easy access for all ages.

Clean and has heaters for the crowd.

Clean, safe, well-staffed and well-equipped, plus the complex parking lot provides access at the North West End to several wonderful, well-marked and maintained walking trails through the bush behind it.

It’s a great arena with two pads of ice. The snack bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. The seating area is also quite comfortable for a small town rink and has plenty of heaters. There’s even a skateboard park and a playground across the street for children who don’t want to watch hockey.

Leo Boivin began playing hockey at the age of seven on the rivers and outdoor ice surfaces of Prescott, Ontario, near Ottawa. As a youngster, he knew that he wanted to be a defenceman "because defenseman got to stay on the ice longer, got to play more." Boivin's junior career began in 1948-49 as a member of the Inkerman Rockets and lasted two more seasons as a member of the Port Arthur Bruins. Boivin's teams competed in the Memorial Cup playoffs in all three of his years in junior. While Boivin was still a teenager, his playing rights were traded by the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He began his professional career as a member of the 1951-52 American Hockey League champion Pittsburgh Hornets, but was called up to the Leafs for a two-game tryout late in the 1951-52 season, making his National Hockey League debut on March 8, 1952. Boivin landed a starting job with the Leafs in 1952-53 and played with Toronto until being traded back to the Bruins early in the 1954-55 season. It was with the Bruins that Boivin's reputation as a hard-hitting, stay-at-home defenceman grew. Tim Horton considered him to be the toughest blueliner to beat in a one-on-one situation, and some Bruin historians refer to him as the link between Eddie Shore and Bobby Orr. Boivin was captain of the Bruins during four of his 12 years with the club and he played in the NHL All-Star game during the 1961, 1962 and 1964 seasons. A trade to Detroit mid-way through the 1965-66 season provided Boivin with his last chance at a Stanley Cup, but it was not to be. Detroit lost the final series to the defending champion Canadiens, four games to two. Boivin was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1967 Expansion Draft, returning to the city where he began his professional hockey career 16 years earlier. The Penguins traded him to the Minnesota North Stars mid-way through the 1968-69 season and Boivin played one more year for the North Stars before retiring at the end of the 1969-70 campaign. After retiring, Boivin stayed in the game as a scout. He served as the interim coach of the St. Louis Blues during the 1975-76 and 1977-78 seasons, and coached the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League for a time, but ultimately preferred scouting to coaching. Also nicknamed "Fireplug" for his compact stature and devastating body checks, Leo Boivin was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1986.

Good family location
