Becker Big Lake Youth Hockey

Our mission is to build, manage, and maintain a local indoor ice arena that promotes the development of youth organizations, as well as promotes area economic and social development.

Our organization is working closely with the cities of Becker and Big Lake as well as other organizations to develop finance and construction plans for a community ice arena. Five acres of land has been acquired in the Big Lake Marketplace and construction is scheduled to begin in Spring of 2009. The proposed 30,000 square foot ice arena design includes a single sheet of ice with seating capacity of approximately 500 people and will accommodate future expansion of a second sheet of ice. The multi-purpose facility will support a broad range of youth activities and public events.

The Becker Big Lake Ice Association (BBLIA) has been actively working with the Minnesota Legislative Branches for appropriation of funds to help build the proposed indoor ice arena. The organization has also been researching alternative architectual plans that may substantially reduce the overall cost of the proposed construction expenses (similar to the Princeton Arena). However, the current financial plan is at risk of losing funds already appropriated if the project does not begin in 2010. Your support is more important that ever.
