The community arena may be used for players rehabbing, or one-on-one instruction with coaches/trainers.

Having the third team here makes a big difference I think. (Plus the Roughnecks) Right now the Wranglers are pretty much out @ WinSport except for games, and I believe the Hitmen have a bunch of practices at 7Chiefs. I can see the community rink bringing all those teams 'home'. It also might mean the Roughnecks have the carpet down in the main arena more, as the hockey teams can practice in the community rink.
