UPDATE: Final push for North Peace Arena in 2025’s Kraft Hockeyville contest

Update (2:32 p.m. February 28th): This story has been updated to include a current point total.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — After nearly two months, it is the final push for Fort St. John residents to help North Peace Arena in the Kraft Hockeyville competition.

There are only a couple of days left to help the home of the Fort St. John Huskies and Senior Flyers in the 2025 Kraft Hockeyville contest, which looks for the best community rink in Canada.

Winners of the nationwide contest will receive $250,000 toward arena upgrades and host an actual National Hockey League (NHL) pre-season game in the fall.

Moose Media and local councillors have even done their part to drum up support for the arena during the month of February. 

Currently, North Peace Arena sits at more than a thousand points.  Points are scored on the Kraft Hockeyville website by uploading testimonials for 10 points, photos of the arena for three points, and short notes of support for one point.

Reactions to stories and photos are also worth a point.

Nominations will end on Sunday, March 2nd. Judging will take place between March 3rd and March 15th, and the top four facilities will be announced on that date.  

Voting for the final four venues will take place between April 4th and 5th, and the victor will be announced on the latter date.
More information on Kraft Hockeyville and how to vote can be found on the contest’s website.
