Additionally, the city extended the trail
system so that it leads to the RP Lumber
Center. With ample bike racks, this is a
perfect destination for folks who like to
commute on two wheels.
Future Forward
After 15 months of construction, RP
Lumber Center officially opened its
doors to the public and began play with
a ceremonial puck drop.
The facility already has plans for host-
ing summer clinics, a Learn to Skate
program that starts in September and
birthday parties booked for the year.
The RP Lumber Center will serve as
home ice for the Tigers, and it will host
games and tournaments in the future.
Nearby hotels and lodging should make
it an attractive tournament destination
moving forward.
Plans for a second sheet—potentially
indoor or outdoor—are already underway.
For Zamora,
who has spent 20
years working with
privately owned
operations — most
notably the Anaheim Ducks—what
strikes him about this city project is the
amount of pride the community takes
in the completion of the facility.
"It's a huge initiative. Coming to work
in a municipality, you really get to see
how much pride and effort goes into
their parks department," he said. "It
really makes a big difference." J
