Drove by this yesterday and it looked like some geotech drilling had been recently completed as there were fresh tracks into the site and a few standpipes poking up.
They made some progress over the winter. The lights are up and looks like they have been working on the interior. Saw a concrete pump the other day pumping into the building. Somewhat promising at least.
Maybe one of the only facilities with a decent capacity that was able to accommodate their dates? Spruce Groves new arena would have been interesting too but between the Saints and other minor hockey, probably not enough ice time?

Fire up the speculation. Spring election? Just a nothing-burger budget address? Pipeline announcement?
