Journal Tribune publishes feature on UNE's plans for hockey rink

The Journal Tribune (Biddeford) on April 25, 2011 ran a sports feature on UNE's plans to build a $10 million hockey rink as part of its Harold Alfond Athletics Complex. 

"Scheduled for ground breaking later this Spring, the Complex, which will [also] provide a new home for UNE’s varsity basketball teams, is the latest in a series of major undertakings by the university aimed at revving up its NCAA Division III athletic program."

“We’re trying to take ideas and concepts that other institutions and rinks are using,” said Curt Smyth, UNE’s Interim Athletic Director, “and incorporate that into our plans. We’re very comfortable with the plans that we have now. We feel that we’re going to have a first rate building when we finish.” Hockey Coach Brad Holt and Director of Campus Planning Alan Thibeault were also interviewed for the story.
