A group of volunteers recently nominated the Sackville Arena for this year's Kraft Hockeyville competition, in hopes of securing a $250,000 prize to expand the rink in Nova Scotia.

Sackville, New Brunswick, is actively campaigning to win the Kraft Hockeyville 2024 contest, aiming to secure $250,000 for upgrades to their 50-year-old arena, the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre. The community has rallied together, with residents like 10-year-old hockey player Liam Doucet and his family participating in various fundraising and promotional activities. The town has already raised $10,000 through events like a bottle drive and a hockey game, showcasing strong community spirit. The arena, which has been a hub for local sports and community events, requires significant repairs including a new roof, ice plant, and dressing rooms. Winning the contest would not only fund these necessary improvements but also bring a pre-season NHL game to Sackville, boosting local pride and potentially attracting more visitors. The community's efforts are part of a broader initiative to keep the aging facility operational and vibrant for future generations.
