This is a great amateur arena, with a pretty decent sized "bowl seating" configuration…read more The seating area is warm and comfortable, more like a mini Saddledome, than the typical community rink seating with people huddled under overhead heaters. It's home to the Junior "A" Oilers, and their home games make for fantastic high-level hockey, at a minimal price. It's an inexpensive, but entertaining evening out. Sight lines are good all over, and you are never far from the action. Though last year I saw a ref take a clapper to the teeth. When I could count his Chiclets on the ice, that was probably a little TOO close! Oh... and the jogging track that circles the upper level is open to anyone, except during paid events. So you can get out and walk or run, even in the dead of winter.

Ball Hockey for little munchkins in the early morning all the way to grown ups playing some sort of men's league hockey. Next to the hockey area, they have two full size basketball courts and soccer which they play league games or tournaments I'm guessing. As well as a couple work out areas where I've seen them throwing footballs in some sort of training programs. Overall, the facility is in very good condition even though the building looks old. Read on their site, you can book the facility for whatever you may need. I would recommend looking into this facility if you need to book sporting events or hold league games as it's a pretty nice facility.

We were there for a kids basketball game. 2 basketball courts, a ball hockey rink and a dry land training area. A little off the beaten path, but worth checking out!

Saw some speedskaters in training, a hockey game going on and skating lessons for kids....if this gives you any idea of the size of this place. From what I understand, it has the fastest ice in the world, hence making it the ideal place to break records- not that I was going to try... After the skating lesson, there was public skating allowed and I got to skate on the ice of the speedskaters.... not being the greatest figure skater there is, I had to be assisted for a while until I felt comfortable enough to go on my own. I am proud to say - no falls :) I actually had a great time and was able to hold my own. No wonder this was the location for olympic events.... Wish there was a facility like this in Texas....but then again, that is Canada for you....home of hockey....

The Adult Learn to Row course was the reason I was there, and really loved it.

I suggest taking any opportunity you might have to get in one of the boats here. The instructors are knowledgeable and have an overwhelming passion for rowing.

There is an NHL-sized hockey rink AND a smaller ice rink (they love their hockey up here in Canada!). There's a full-size basketball court (my cuz helps put on an Indian Basketball tournament here every April). I shot a few baskets last time I was here. There's also a decent weight room. Last time I was here, I ran the tread mill, lifted some free weights, and punched a punching bag (well, I didn't do the latter, but thought it would sound cooler). They also generally run a few children's programs out of here throughout the year. I wish more people would use this place. It's so nice to have a facility like this on the Rez.

I attended the Siksika Health Fair, held today at the Sportsplex. I don't know who's responsible…read morefor cleaning and maintenance, but I question how long someone has been neglecting their job. I was so disappointed in the condition of the facility restrooms. Knowing that a significant community event was on the roster, you'd think someone would ensure the place would be in its finest condition. There are several restroom areas for men and women, as this complex is huge. The women's restroom closest to the large arena was a disaster. Several stalls were unusable because either the toilet didn't work or the door was smaller than the frame and you had no privacy. The stall that I did use actually had feces on the wall. Soap was lacking. I looked everywhere because I couldn't believe my eyes. In doing so, I noticed that the ceiling was creatively decorated. I don't know about you, but as I kid I engaged in the prank that involved soaking toilet paper and whipping it at the ceiling to make it stick. That's what was all over the ceiling. Thankfully I found the other restrooms, which were considerably better in comparison, but still not in very good condition. Long strands of toilet paper were hanging in the stalls to cover up gaps. I toured some of the Sportsplex, as I'd not been here before. I truly couldn't believe the size and assume many activities take place here, hence the reason for certain areas to be dilapidated. I was impressed that there is a gym. The venue really was perfect for the Health Fair and the amount of attendees, but if I ever go here again, I sure hope it's cleaned up. Such a community asset should be treated like a treasure.
