Can you believe it’s been 10 years since the grand opening of ICON Sports Center? 🎉 We’re celebrating a decade of sports, community, and unforgettable moments—all made possible by the Legends & Heroes Campaign and the amazing Grand Forks community. 🏅
Rooted in a passion for youth hockey and figure skating, the campaign brought together community members to build a two-sheet arena, creating something extraordinary. ICON Sports Center highlights our commitment to youth sports and solidifies Grand Forks as a Midwest hockey destination.
Thank you to all donors for making this vision a reality! Fundraising continues to sustain this incredible facility.
Enjoy these throwback photos from the Grand Opening! 📸✨
