The City of Humboldt and the Department of Community and Leisure Services announced the installation of the new sports court flooring in the Curling Rink on March 3 2021.

This innovative flooring lays overtop the existing concrete flooring in the curling rink when the ice is out and converts it into a practical and useful multi-purpose sports court surface. 

Community and Leisure Services was approached by the “Humboldt Hustlers Club Volleyball” team who were looking for a location to practice. The total cost of the flooring was estimated to cost approximately $40,000. The expense was shared with The Hustlers who were able to secure $10,000 in funding through Sask. Volleyball. The City was able to provide an additional $10,000 through a Saskatchewan Lottery Grant. This left a balance of $20,000 to complete the project.

Following the Humboldt Broncos bus accident, there were two donations made for a total of $20,000 in memory of Jacob Leicht, Brody Hinz, and Tyler Bieber. The donors had requested that the funds be utilized to upgrade existing recreational facilities within the Uniplex, at the discretion of the families and the City. Through discussions with the families, it was a project that fit with the original objective of the donations.

The area is open to the public but you can book a time online or by calling the Uniplex.
