bernick's arena

It won't be long now before the first practices will be held inside the new Sartell hockey arena.

After years of planning the Sartell Youth Rec Center has finally broken ground on a new sports arena.

It's been a goal to build a second sheet of ice in Sartell for several years, and this year those dreams are expected to be reality.

Bernick's Arena was awarded their check Tuesday night after placing in a nationwide contest.

While Sartell didn't come away with the grand prize in the Kraft Hockeyville contest over the weekend, Bernick's Arena did walk away with some funding for their second sheet of ice.

Bernick's Arena has been named one of four finalists in a nation wide contest.

The Sartell Youth Hockey Association is hoping a nationwide contest will help them land a second sheet of ice.

Work is underway to finish the Bernick's Arena parking lot expansion at Pinecone Regional Park in Sartell.

A problem with lack of parking near Bernicks Arena took a step forward. A public hearing was held during tonight's (Monday) Sartell City Council meeting for approval on a Conditional Use Permit for Pinecone Regional Park, which would allow for an additional 283 parking spots on the lot.

The first step on whether to expand the parking lot in front of Bernicks Arena in Sartell has been taken. Back in April, the council agreed to follow staff recommendation to delay engineering work until more overall site concepts were discussed.
