HCUC is very nice, no question. From a media standpoint, the media was hardly considered when it was built. There's one booth and it's big enough for MAYBE 4 people, and the Mils do their filming from it.

Kindersley's radio guy was asked to set up a table on the concourse on Tuesday night. For a new rink with a Junior 'A' Hockey team, that's just plain unacceptable. I broadcasted by the Mils' video guys during the home opener... it was full but not too cramped. Playoffs will be an adventure when there's two crews, and possibly Access TV.

Well just to let u know when the planning went on they never even asked the Mills what was needed so that is very poor.... we are the major ones who use the rink..... the city of melville is to blame for alot of the planning.

We could have told them what we needed but were never given the chance.... not right??

Melvilles rink is nice but it is small compared to Dauphin or Estevan. I agree not much of a press box area. Also, dont like the idea of going downstairs to get a burger or candy for the kid. Nice rink though!

Melville's arena is nice, but you can see that there was definately some planning issues that really didn't get thought out.

What are u talking about their is a canteen upstairs except for hot food... sell pop, chips, candy, bars and coffee.
As far as I know we are the same size as Dauphin..

sorry but we in Melville are very proud of our beautiful facility!!!!!
