Program
We are committed to serving both local non-profit youth associations & individual members of the public.

We also continue to host physical education programs for the local homeschooling group. Our facilities are available year-round to support various group outings for churches, schools and other for-profit institutions.since we expanded the supply of ice time, the community has responded with developing new programming including sled hockey for the disabled, various adult hockey leagues for players of all ages and skill levels, a curling association, and new hockey club offerings to better meet the needs of the growing ice sports user community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $8.3M to $10.0M (+20%).

Government-grant reliance: 2020 5% · 2021 4% · 2023 5% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
