The ODR (outdoor rink) is buzzing once again in Humboldt. 
 
Just before Christmas, work was completed for the outdoor rink at St. Dominic School. For the last decade, the rink at St. Dominic School has served as the primary outdoor rink for Humboldt since the closure of the rink located near Glenn Hall Park.  

Soon, a second facility, the Jacob Leicht Memorial Rink, located near the Uniplex inside of Centennial Park, will open in the city.
