Preparations for hockey and skating season in Blacks Harbour are nearly complete after broken equipment caused delays in laying the ice.
One of the two dehumidifiers in the ice arena at the Patrick Connors Recreational Complex broke down during the process of laying the skating surface in September.

The official opening of the ice is anticipated for Tuesday, October 3.
