The closing of the Kent State Ice Arena has left Kent State University and other hockey and figure skating teams in limbo.
The facility was closed indefinitely Sept. 25 as part of the university’s plan to limit the increasing spread of COVID-19, according to a letter sent by the university to teams that train there. Three positive cases linked to the facility triggered its closing.
The ice arena hosts the two Kent State American Collegiate Hockey Association hockey teams, the Kent State figure skating team, six area high school teams, a figure skating club and a youth hockey program.
