PO Box 3087 T9S 2B9 Athabasca, AB, Canada

Good Evening, With government restrictions still in place, with no clear directive to its end, it's with disappointment to have to call an official end to our 2020/2021 season. The Multiplex Board has made the decision to remove the ice for the remainder of the season. ... A huge thank-you to our skaters, parents, coaches and my fellow board members and directors! Even though our season was short, it took incredible effort to keep everyone safe and healthy while allowing our kiddos to skate. Your time, patience and understanding through every challenge we faced is commendable. We hope our 2021/2022 season proves to be less challenging and more rewarding. Please stay healthy and happy! On behalf of the ASC Board, Lindsay Strong President, ASC

Good Afternoon, With the new mandates put out by both the Provincial and Municipal Governing bodies, we are saddened to inform our member and skaters that our Fall session is officially cancelled. We appreciate your patience while the ASC was awaiting guidance and direction from Skate Alberta on how to proceed. Unfortunately, the Athabasca Multiplex has made the decision to close the facility until January 2nd, therefore ending our program. The ASC board is now working hard ...to tie up all loose ends in regards to the Fall session, so please stay tuned for some very important information. Thank-you for your understanding, On behalf of the ASC, Lindsay Strong President
