The Town of Quispamsis is now accepting applications for ice time during the upcoming 2026-27 fall and winter season. Local sports organizations and community groups must submit their requests through the town’s online fillable form no later than April 27, 2026.

This annual process allows organizations to secure space at the town’s two main indoor arenas. The qplex Arena, located at 20 Randy Jones Way, provides ice year-round and features an NHL-sized surface with seating for more than 1,100 people. The Quispamsis Memorial Arena, situated at 350 Hampton Road, operates during the colder months from October through April.

Securing ice time is essential for a wide range of local programs. This includes the Kennebecasis Valley Minor Hockey Association, which serves more than 60 teams across the region, and the Quispamsis Figure Skating Club, which provides training for skaters of all ages and levels. Additionally, Hockey New Brunswick utilizes local facilities to host free, specialized programs for neurodiverse children.

All facility bookings require proof of liability insurance coverage for at least $5 million per occurrence. Regarding payment, groups must provide 50 per cent of their rental fees when booking, with the remaining balance due eight weeks before the start of their scheduled time. All usage is governed by the town’s Recreation Facility Allocation Policy, which aims to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of ice among community groups.
