 The state of hockey is about to welcome a new venue for youth and hockey programs in the town of Baudette. Friday afternoon a groundbreaking ceremony was held at Lake of the Woods High School for a $6 million arena. The over 40,000 square foot venue will seat approximately 650 spectators for hockey. The facility will be home to area youth and high school hockey programs along with other community activities. The Bemidji office of Krause Anderson is the construction manager for the project who is expected to complete the arena by February of 2019. An anonymous donor contributed $5 million to the project however fundraising is still ongoing.
