The Crookston Sports Center is an indoor facility located in Crookston, Minnesota. The facility contains three sheets of ice and opened in 2008 to replace the Winter Sports Arena and the Crookston Civic Arena which opened in 1937 and 1978 respectively. The previous arena were located in an arena that was prone to flooding and a new facility with the extra sheet was needed in the area.
The University of Minnesota-Crookston had sponsored varsity level men's ice hockey until 2008 when the program was ended by the university. The team was supposed to play out of the new facility but honored its' financial commitment to build the arena. The school would announce that it would start a club level men's hockey team for the 2020-21 season as a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. The team will be based out of the arena.[1]
