$14m project; expected completion in summer 2014.

City owned; Predators to lease (payment to service debt on facility).

Preds' CEO: Look at new arena as "fan factory" for team. Adding two sheets of ice (to existing 4 in region). Venue to serve as an economic engine for local area.

I think that's fantastic, always good to see "good news" stories about the game growing.

Cool, hopefully that and the future success of the Preds will help grow the game.

I'm just hoping we can get adult league games to start before midnight.

Hooray, good for the predators ! Let it be the first of many ( not just the predators but everywhere rinks are currently scarce)
