Happy New Year 2026!!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season with those they love. 

 As we head into January, the Priddis Panthers will begin practicing and hosting games on their home rink. Please make sure to check our website (www.priddisalberta.com)  and follow us on social media for up to date rink schedules that show when community skating is permitted and when the rink is reserved for Panthers’ practices, community shinny and Panthers games. 

We ask that all community members respect the schedule and vacate the ice when it is reserved or when the ice maintenance crew needs to work. Finally, just a reminder that everyone using the rink needs to have a PCA membership. 

With the holiday season in our rearview mirror, our programs are starting up again. We hope we will see you at some of the following offerings:

Yoga: 

A wonderful class with a mix of flow and restorative movements that is suitable for all levels. Mondays and Thursdays from 7:30-8:30pm at the Priddis Hall. Please email lorichinnery@heartomwellness.com for more information or to register

Community Shinny Tournament:

On January 31, 8 local teams will compete for the Priddis Cup in this fun, community shinny tournament. We invite all community members to come down and watch. We will have great hockey, as well as a beer garden, a concession catered by an amazing Mexican food truck and a 50/50. All proceeds from this event go to support the upkeep and maintenance of our community rink. The Priddis Panthers will also be hosting a silent auction to raise funds for their year end tournament and they will have a lot of great items to bid on.

November Update

Hello Priddis!

As November arrives and the temperatures get cooler, anticipation begins to build for the opening of our outdoor rink. Be sure to follow us on social media as that is the best way to get updates on the rink status. Once we have an expected opening date, we will provide this winter’s rink schedule for our community members. Just a reminder that all rink users must have a PCA membership. The revenue generated from these memberships helps us fund all of the equipment and maintenance that is required to have this amazing amenity in our community. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

This is a friendly reminder that all PCA Memberships expired on October 31. If you have yet to renew,  please follow the link below to get your membership for this year.

• We are sure you have heard all the buzz by now- the Priddis Rink surface has a fresh new look and a safe new path. Not only will this improve the quality of our ice for the winter season. It also means that community members can enjoy the space all year round with activities like ball hockey, rollerblading and biking. Next summer we will be looking for input into what activities, programs or events our community would like to see in this space. Just a reminder that everyone using the rink during any season needs to have a PCA Membership.
