The location and building of the training center already exists, but is undergoing massive construction to make it into an ice arena and high level training facility. Cyr has sent us some great pictures of the beginning stages of construction, which are posted below. Hopefully we will get some progress shots in the near future so we can really see the center develop.
The outside of the building.
This area will be transformed into an ice rink, and goalie-specific training creases have a separate space (not pictured). Hard to imagine, but we promise all the debris will be gone! The weight room will overlook the ice level from the windows on the top of the back wall.
Lastly, this is the lounge area for the goalies to relax before and after a hard work out!
