Their continued growth is our continued growth you know, just them being here in the building, you know, gets people excited," said Wes Reid, Director of the TGH Ice Plex.

The twin ice rink is more than just the Bolts practice rink, it's also open to the public and home to rec and travel hockey leagues and figure skating. The ice plex has one of the largest adult hockey programs in the country.
