A hockey dad at a Rock Springs City Council meeting and city staff on Thursday showcased a remodeled locker room at the local rink that the Rock Springs Amateur Hockey Association completed in collaboration with the city.
The hockey dad introduced the tour by inviting attendees to view the space, saying it “smells like memories and happiness” even as he added, “there is definitely a strong hockey stank happening in here.” Robin, a city staff member, invited people inside and praised the work: “They did a great job.”
Robin described how the association and city converted a former women’s bathroom to create the team space. “We took out all of the stalls for the bathrooms in here, left them 1 stall, 1 mirror, 2 hand dryers,” Robin said, adding that the area has been fully renovated so it can be used by the hockey association.
The meeting record does not show any formal vote or funding details for the remodel, and no next steps or additional city approvals were specified during the exchange.
The presentation focused on the physical changes to the facility and offered attendees an opportunity to inspect the updated locker room; staff and association representatives did not provide budgetary figures or a timeline for the work during the remarks.
