"It's so rewarding to have this be a part of the community," Franklin said. "I never had the opportunity to go to a potential concert or have the chance to really play hockey growing up. Now, this is in Austin Peay State University stu- dents' backyard. They can get done with class, walk a block with their hockey gear and play some stick and puck." Ford Ice Center Clarksville hopes to expand its partnership with the university by potentially offering human perfor- mance and elective classes for Austin Peay State University students in the future. "We have so many great partners in the community, and are excited to be work- ing with Austin Peay and Montgomery County to bring these benefits to the Clarksville community," Franklin said.
