The McMillen Ice Arena (MAC) is offering two new sports this year—sled hockey and speed skating. The sled hockey program is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 8:55 a.m., July 19, Aug. 2 and Aug 6. The speed skating program is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 8:55 a.m., July 12, July 26, Aug. 9 and Aug. 23. Sled hockey is similar to wheelchair basketball and is a great sport for youth and adults. People with mobility disabilities who enjoy or want to learn the sport of hockey are welcome. Admission is $5 per session. There is no pre-registration for this dropin program and all equipment will be provided. Don’t miss your chance to become a living roller coaster as speed skaters can achieve speeds as fast as 60 miles per hour at short distances. Speed skating sessions are open to all skaters, whether you compete or just skate for fun. Instructors will be available to help beginners get started. Admission is $12 per session. There is no pre-registration for this program and rental skates are available. For more information, call (260) 427-6730 or visit www.mcmillenicearena.org.
