City of Westland Awards Ice Arena Improvement Project


Westland, MI - At  .the December 7, 2015 council meeting, the Westland City Council awarded the project of renovations to the Mike Modano Ice Arena to Envision Builders, Inc. which came in as the lowest of twelve bids.


The expansion and renovation of portions of the ice arena will include:

  • A four locker room addition with separate showers and bathrooms, something currently shared
  • An activity room for community gatherings, parties etc.
  • The re-purposing of the existing locker rooms into female locker rooms, a referee locker room and a storage room for a second Zamboni

Construction of the project will not exceed $843,000, will be completed over the course of the next 4 - 6 months and will not disrupt activities within the arena.   Funding for this project will come from the city's capital improvement fund and several years of fundraising efforts including notable donations from The Mike Modano Foundation and is part of the approved 2015/2016 budget.

"This much needed improvement will finalize the modernization of the Mike Modano Ice Arena and will play an integral part in building our hockey and figure skating programs," commented Mayor Wild.

The Mike Modano Ice Arena is located at 6210 Wildwood.
