Thousand Islands Privateers (FHL) (2010–2012)

The ice arena was the home of a professional hockey team, the Thousand Islands Privateers of the Federal Hockey League, from 2010 until 2012, when they moved their home games to nearby Watertown. Currently the arena plays host to local high school hockey teams and recreational teams. Current seating capacity for spectators is 3,500.

The center closed after the departure of the Thousand Islands Privateers in 2012. In August 2019 the town board approved $5.5 million in bonds for the purchase and rehabilitation of the center[2] and on November 5, 2019 the voters approved the bond measure.[3]
