Taku River Tlingit First Nation celebrated the opening of a new outdoor rink in Atlin, B.C. on Friday with a ceremony featuring NHL Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier.

The “first of its kind” facility has a covered natural ice-surface for skating and hockey in the winter. In the summer, the area will be used for sports like basketball and baseball, as well as community gatherings, including potlatches. The project was funded through Jordan’s Principle.

Trottier, a former NHL hockey player who won four Stanley Cups during his career, says it was a “great honour” to be invited to the grand opening, after first visiting youth in the community last year.
