L’Île-Perrot, Notre-Dame-de-l’îlePerrot (NDIP), Pincourt, and TerrasseVaudreuil have teamed up and jointly applied for grants from the federal and provincial governments to build a new hockey arena that will be located in Pincourt, just metres away from the previous arena project that has sat vacant for roughly 20 years.
The news was announced in a joint press release that was issued by all four %= !+ Pincourt Mayor Yvan Cardinal said the island’s mayors are all united in their desire to have a dedicated arena to serve the needs of all Île-Perrot residents. Request for grants “This is a big step,” Cardinal told The Journal. “It also includes the Commission scolaire des Trois-Lacs. The idea is to ask both levels of government for & $ B 0 %0 - %* $% & +N # 1 $**9 % +>
The mayor reiterated the new tworink facility will not be exclusively for hockey – people who enjoy other ice sports will also be able to use the new facility. The arena will also allow students from École secondaire du ChêneBleu who are enrolled in its hockey program – adjacent to the proposed arena on Pincourt Boulevard – to use the facility, he said.

They have plans for the near future to grow into the property next door, including possibly adding a ring and some more indoor space for the human caregivers, which will mean they can help even more horses down the road. But for now, their two newest residents have no complaints. It’s easy to see as Max and Freddy snort and leap and roll gleefully in the snow that they’ve been given a new lease on life.
