Cedar Rock SportsPlex receives new Zamboni from NHL and Red Wings

Cedar Rock SportsPlex in Cedar Springs, Michigan, has been gifted a new Zamboni by the NHL, NHLPA, and Detroit Red Wings. The presentation took place on October 4, 2026, coinciding with the launch of the Little Wings Learn to Play program aimed at making hockey more accessible for local families. The old Zamboni, approximately 40 years old, frequently disrupted operations due to mechanical issues. Community efforts have helped keep the nonprofit facility afloat, which offers low-cost access to families and accommodates other local organizations. The new Zamboni is expected to improve reliability for the rink's daily operations, alleviating one of the major operational concerns.
