It was a whirlwind weekend at the Eatonia Arena. The local Huskies senior hockey team treated fans to the start of another home campaign on Friday and Saturday, though most of the Eatonia & District Recreation board's hard work towards the opener went out the window, literally.
A break-in at the local rink occurred sometime Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Damage was done inside to a window, the overhead door in the kitchen, and the cashbox in the kitchen that unfortunately led to money being stolen from the rinks kitchen committee.
The recreation department shared the following message on their social media.
"As always, our volunteers and committees are resilient and we will move on. All that was broken will be fixed. All that was stolen will be replaced." stated the town on social media. "Thanks to Darcy Scott, Dan Lothammer, Derek Price, Dean Aldridge, Trish Lee and Krista Stevens for your help this morning cleaning."

"Thank you to Lindsay, the Eatonia and District Recreation Board, and the volunteers who helped get everything cleaned and boarded up," the team shared on Sunday morning. "A bit of a sour ending to our successful weekend, but the Huskies still #RunAsOne."
An RCMP investigation is underway after police gathered "optimistic" evidence, and WestCentralOnline has reached out to the Kindersley detachment for comment.
