About Clancy Richard Arena

Clancy Richard Arena is the larger of St. Paul’s two arenas, with seating for roughly 1,350 spectators, and it is the building that hosts the town’s biggest events, from minor hockey and figure skating to rodeos and trade shows. It has also hosted a provincial women’s curling championship, drawing teams and fans from across Alberta into St. Paul for the week. Public skating runs seasonally alongside the regular hockey and skating schedule.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at Clancy Richard Arena, and with the arena now a LiveBarn venue, games can be streamed live or watched back later. Free Wi-Fi means the crowd in the stands, the visiting teams, and anyone working the event can stay online through a full day of ice time without leaning on their own cell data.

Where: 5314 48 Avenue, St. Paul, Alberta.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

A steel-framed arena this size can hold well over a thousand people at once, and cell towers were never built to carry that kind of load from inside a metal building. Free Wi-Fi at Clancy Richard Arena keeps families, players, and visiting teams connected during the town’s biggest events, tournaments included.

MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. See every free Wi-Fi hotspot in St. Paul, the full hotspot directory, or read about home internet in St. Paul.
