IT’S TIME. LET’S BUILD THE ARENA OUR KIDS DESERVE.

For decades, our community has dreamed of a permanent home for ice sports in Midcoast Maine. Now—thanks to skyrocketing youth participation, renewed community energy, and a clear plan—we have the chance to make it happen. Midcoast Arena will be a year-round hub for hockey, skating, and connection. But we need your voice and support to bring it to life.

SEE THE VISION

More than an arena:
A CATALYST FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT

Empowering Youth Through Accessible Ice Sports and Community Engagement

A modern facility means more ice time, more development, and more opportunities for young athletes to thrive close to home.

Boosting the Local Economy Through Sports, Events, and Community Involvement

From job creation to increased tourism and local spending, Midcoast Arena will be an economic engine for years to come.

A PLACE FOR EVERYONE ON THE ICE

Open skate, adaptive skating, figure skating, and adult leagues will make this a true four-season community space—not just for athletes, but for all.

A year-round Facility for the Whole Community

Midcoast Arena isn’t just for competitive hockey. It’s designed to serve the entire community—year-round. From winter programming like public skate, figure skating, sled hockey, and adult leagues to warm-weather offerings like dryland training, sports clinics, and community events, the arena will stay active every month of the year. Whether you're on the ice or off, there’s a place for you here.
