The Saranac Lake Civic Center is set to reopen for the 2025-26 ice season on Sunday, September 28, with a safety and infrastructure upgrade in place: a replacement of its nearly 25-year-old dasher board facing.
Dasher boards—also known as hockey boards—form the lower perimeter of an ice rink and play a crucial role in both safety and game play. Over the summer, the Civic Center undertook a significant renovation, replacing aging and deteriorated components with new polyethylene panels.
