Welcome!
Welcome to the Kaslo and District Arena Complex
Kaslo Arena is a municipally owned facility, funded partially through the RDCK and the Village of Kaslo and operated by a volunteer board. Our arena was built in 1974 through the efforts of a few community minded people and a whole community that continues to this day. The dedicated volunteer board members, past and present, continue to strive to provide a facility that is affordable, safe, fun and inclusive.
We are excited to see the increase in both Minor Hockey and Adult hockey use. We are fortunate to be able to provide ice times that are reasonable, though with increases to Minor Hockey, we have had to change our schedule a bit this year. Ice times are still early enough and reasonable enough that our usership continues to build.
We are able to provide several times in the weekly schedule where people of all ages and abilities can come and skate. We started a Family Hockey time for those who are unable to commit to weekly practices and games. We have a group of figure skaters who meet weekly as well as times where people are encouraged to come and learn to skate. We still offer drop in hockey with Monday Night Maniacs and Skills and Drills, and this season will offer a free beginner skater program we will schedule later in the year.

The Arena viewing room is a great rental space for dances, large meetings, or kids play time.

With the increase in Minor Hockey, Figure Skating and the Kaslo Cougars (ladies hockey) there will be more action on the weekends. There will be some games and tournaments and hopefully a Minor Hockey playoff weekend as well as our annual KJAM and MASH-UP tournaments. Check Kaslo Community Web; Kaslo Arena Facebook page and Minor Hockey page for game schedule.
Last season we created a Kaslo Arena Virtual Equipment page. We found that our old equipment room was becoming a place for unsafe, unusable equipment and was quite a disaster. Staff were spending quite a bit of time trying to keep it organized. We have a small space for some equipment which is currently full. Many people used the Virtual Equipment room last year successfully so please check that if you need equipment or would like to give away or sell some.
We are continuing to benefit from our dear Murray’s love of the arena by building some new lockers and a new ladies dressing in the old concession area.
We have raised some of our fees slightly this year due to increasing utility and fuel costs. Please check the website for our new rates. Please note the following increases to rates:
