Rally for the RICC in the Kraft Hockeyville Contest

Help Rothesay Arena Win $250,000 for the RICC!
We’re thrilled to announce that Rothesay Arena has been entered into the Kraft Hockeyville rally — and if our community wins, we could receive $250,000 toward the Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC)!
What is Kraft Hockeyville?
Kraft Hockeyville is a national competition that empowers communities to rally together in support of their local rink. Through online engagement, communities earn “rally points” that help determine who wins major funding and recognition.
How You Can Help
The rally period runs until March 1st, and every small action adds up! Here’s how you can earn rally points:

Share a short story about what the Rothesay Arena means to you – 10 points
Upload up to (5) photos — 3 points each
Write a quick note of support — 1 point
React to other people’s posts — every reaction helps earn points

Best of all, it only takes a minute or two — and everything helps!
👉 Visit the rally page and start contributing:
https://hockeyville.kraftheinz.com/community/rothesayarena/?locale=en
Why This Matters
Winning $250,000 through Kraft Hockeyville would be a meaningful contribution toward building the RICC — a vibrant, inclusive community hub for people of all ages and abilities. Let’s come together to show the strength of our community spirit!
Thank you for supporting Rothesay Arena, and thank you for helping us build something incredible for generations to come!
