Casino, Offices for the Oilers group and a new community rink (far right) with the sloped roof. The little rink will be for the entire City to use, minor hockey etc as well as the practice rink for the Oilers, Oil Kings, MacEwan University Griffins hockey and regular bookings by other user groups and community skates.
