👀🏒 WE HEARD A RUMOUR…

Apparently, some Stick & Puck sessions nearby might be coming to an end… 👀

Well, hockey fans — don’t panic. We’ve got you. 😏

When Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink reopens, we’ll be running Stick & Puck sessions throughout the week, giving you plenty of opportunities to get on the ice, work on those hands, practise your shot and just enjoy some quality puck time. 🏒🥅

And that’s only the beginning…

We’ve got plenty more hockey opportunities planned for Canterbury, with more details to be announced as we get closer to reopening.

So keep the stick.
Keep the skates.
Definitely keep the hockey puck. 😉

Hockey is coming back to Canterbury — and we’re planning plenty of it. 💙🏒

Stay tuned. 👀
