The celebration of the reconstruction and revitalization of the Pat O’Donnell Civic Center will continue into 2022 with the news that the Polar Bear Hockey Association has chosen the civic at the venue for its bantam level state hockey tournament. At the Civic Center board meeting on Monday, board member Matthew Sommer shared the information. The state tournaments rotate through the eight districts of the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association, and the rebuild of the Civic was enough to cause the association to choose Ironwood and the Civic Center. The tournament is scheduled for March 11-13 of next year.
