Restoring Yost

Those in town may have noticed some crews working on the outside of Yost Ice Arena again this year.  It raised an eyebrow from me, given the issues they had last season which caused the postponement of a game and given the timing—why would they be working on it during hockey season?

Fear not. I spoke with Matt Trevor in hockey media relations who told me the work is simply "masonry restoration and cleaning."   Trevor advised they did some of the work over the summer, and continue to work their way around the building. 

I also noticed the cement ‘M’ in one of the corners was removed:

I asked Trevor if they were <gulp> changing any of the design.   Once again, fear not.  "They’re just cleaning and restoring what’s there," he told me.’
