Campus Ice Centre recognized as best arena in Durham Region

The Campus Ice Centre on the campus of Durham College and UOIT has received the 2013 Readers’ Choice “Diamond Award” as the best Ice Skating Facility in the Durham Region.

The Readers’ Choice Awards presented by the Oshawa/Whitby This Week recognizes the top three businesses in a variety of categories. The business with the most votes in each category receives the Diamond award, while Platinum and Gold are awarded for the second and third place.

Opened in 2005, the Campus Ice Centre includes two NHL-sized ice pads, with seating for 500 and 200 respectively, a total of 10 change rooms, a sports retail outlet, offices, administration and food and beverage facilities.

“This is a wonderful achievement and we would like to thank the readers for choosing our arena complex as the best,” said Ken Babcock, Durham College & UOIT Athletic Director. “We have always known that we have a great facility with great staff focused on customer service and excellence. This proves it.”

In addition to hosting numerous minor hockey and figure skating events, the Campus Ice Centre (operated by Nustadia Recreation) is also home to the UOIT men’s and women’s hockey programs.
