The A.G. Ross Arena is Elk Point’s indoor ice rink, owned by the Elk Point and District Agricultural Society and run by its own arena operating committee, and it is the busiest building in town through the winter months. Elk Point Minor Hockey, the skating club, pond hockey, the Elks senior men’s hockey group, adult recreational hockey, public skating, and shinny all run through the arena, and the building doubles as a general community event space the rest of the year.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the arena, so parents in the stands, visiting teams, and event organizers can get online without relying on cell signal. It is one of five MCSnet hotspots in Elk Point, alongside the Elk Point and District Curling Society, the Elk Point Riding Arena, the Elk Point Regional Allied Arts Society, and the Elk Point Pioneer Seniors Centre, all sharing the same network name and password.
Where: 5326 51 Street, Elk Point, Alberta.

A steel-framed arena can be one of the worst spots in town for cell reception, and a lot of the families in the stands have driven in from farms and acreages outside Elk Point. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection means nobody has to choose between watching the game and staying reachable.
