Hockey Night in Hamilton
Hamilton is getting a little more ice time in a few short months. Developer Danny Trombetta recently announced a new private triple rinks investment in the Stoney Creek industrial park- a $25-million, 90,000 square foot project that includes a gymnasium, running track and full-serve restaurant.
The Gateway Ice Centre, the facility is located at Fruitland Road and South Service Road, adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Way. Two of the three ice surfaces will be regulation NHL size, with the other being slightly smaller. The main rink - with 12 change rooms - features 1,600 backed seats located in a bowl shape around the ice. The other two rinks each have seating for 400.
In addition to the three ice pads, the following features are scheduled to be part of Gateway Ice Centre:
* An 8,000-square-foot 5-Star Fitness and Nutrition Centre, with membership open to the public
* A Don Cherry's Sports Grill, with connecting outdoor patio, overlooking rink No. 1
* A three-lane rubberized wraparound running track over rink No. 2
* A fan friendly viewing area with 49-foot ceilings, two private boxes and an oversize press box
* A sport shop with skate sharpening.
