Cape Breton University has opened Kehoe Forum, an arena dedicated exclusively to women’s hockey, which CBU describes as the first of its kind in the country. Named after community supporters Jim and Roma Kehoe, the facility underwent a $40M redevelopment to add supports for para and sledge hockey and new spaces that include a counselling centre, fitness centre, and multi-use spaces. “This is more than an arena,” said CBU President David Dingwall. “It’s a statement that women’s hockey belongs at the heart of Canadian culture and it is a commitment to equity, opportunity and the future of the game.”
