In an effort to link family memories with the New Arena, Dubuque Community Ice and Recreation (DICE) has launched a Brick Paver program. Families or businesses can purchase engraved bricks. The bricks will then be placed in the entry plaza just outside the entrance to the new building.
This is an opportunity for families to be a part of the new facility in a way that really lasts a lifetime.
There are a limited number of brick pavers available, and they will go quickly.
Please download the attached pdf, fill it out and return it by mail or email to:

Each player will be tested and evaluated throughout the year: At the beginning of the season, mid-season, and season end. Parents are encouraged to discuss their child's progress with their coach and to offer feedback on the coaches' performance.
