Hobbs Ice Arena in Eau Claire will be closed starting tomorrow (Wed. Nov. 18) due to a concern about the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. In a press release today:
Due to concern over public safety in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hobbs Ice
Arena will be temporarily closed to the public beginning Wednesday, November 18,
2020. The City of Eau Claire Community Services Department and its Recreation Division leadership
will re-evaluate the closure on Tuesday, December 8, 2020. Services affected include: hockey
practices, figure skating, open skating, competitive games, and any winter programming planned at
Hobbs Ice Arena.
The message from both Governor Evers and the Eau Claire City-County Health Department is that we
avoid gatherings of any size with individuals who are not members of our immediate family or
household. The Eau Claire Skating Community is passionate about your sport, and we know you are as
passionate about doing your part to help keep our entire Eau Claire Community safe by temporarily
pausing your gatherings at Hobbs Ice Arena. Stay well and we look forward to welcoming you back to
the rink as soon as we can safely do so.
Sincerely,
Renee Tyler, Community Services Director
