For the last two weeks Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association (BAHA) employees and volunteers have cleaned, moved, and built an ice rink on the refrigerated slab in Haynes Pavilion. Per an agreement with the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, BAHA builds and tears-down every piece of board, glass, and ice in the facility each year.

The first day of ice (anticipated to be Sept. 26th) has a schedule complete with: private ice rental, Icedogs practice,drop-in hockey (“Puck Lunch”), public skating, stick & puck, figure skating club practice, MSU Hockey Club try-outs, and pre-season adult hockey league games.

“Like most years, we’re off to a running start,” says Operation Director Julie Keck, “In addition to our regular groups and programming, this week we are hosting the Montana Hockey Summit, as well as a community skate.”

The community skate, Rendez-vous at the Rink, is on October 2nd from 3-5pm. Admission to skate is FREE. Skate rentals, food, and merchandise will be available for purchase. The event is organized by BAHA and the Gallatin Ice Foundation to kick off the ice skating season with all community members, ice user groups, and teams.

Haynes Pavilion will be open from the week of September 26th through the end of April 2017. Ice programs are scheduled from 6am – midnight on most days. A full rink schedule and information on ice skating opportunities can be found at www.bozemanhockey.org.
