PHASE 1: COMPLETE!
Thank you to all of our generous donors who contributed to the Locker Room renovation.
Renovation Progress:
Locker Room BEFORE
Our locker room demolition and basic repairs are complete with new lighting, airflow diffusers and painting well underway. New locker stalls, flooring and graphics will be coming soon, with several additional components still in need of funding. And the initial phase of the legacy space outside of Rink 1 has been designed with final graphics production and installation awaiting additional fundraising.
THE PROBLEM
Not enough lockers for all players,
Lockers, benches, flooring and shower all in extremely poor condition, benches cracked and worn in several places
Lockers ineffective for properly drying and storing hockey gear
HVAC not functioning correctly – locker room reaches high 70-degrees negatively impacting player recovery
Rusty, Dank and Dirty — Humid and smelly air quality
Exposed showers with non-functioning shower heads
Non-functioning or broken bathroom facilities
THE SOLUTION
Girls’ and Boys’ locker rooms will be nearly identical in scope with minor variables due to room layout
New, modern locker stalls for each player
Accommodate player travel bag, hooks to allow equipment to air out and dry properly
HVAC enhancements to improve airflow, improve temperature, solve equipment drying heat issues, and more
New flooring to eliminate current issues with wear-and-tear, gaps to protect our athlete equipment
Ceiling and lighting updated to improve ambient lighting and support better airflow
Shower updates and general plumbing improvements to modernize space for privacy
Eden Prairie Hockey branding, graphics and paint
Additional features including stick racks, white boards, refrigerator, cabinets, water bottle filling station
Team meeting areas and room for team legacy photos
