About Boyle Arena

The Boyle Arena is the Village of Boyle’s indoor rink and the busiest building in town from October through March. Minor hockey, public skating, and the tournaments that bring families in from around Athabasca County all run through here, and the lobby doubles as a gathering spot while the ice is being flooded.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the arena, so anyone in the building can get online without a cellular signal. Parents in the stands can catch up on work between periods, visiting teams can check the schedule, and the concession can run its point-of-sale terminal on a solid connection. MCSnet sponsors free Wi-Fi at three Boyle facilities together: the arena, the community centre, and the curling club.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

Cell coverage inside a steel-framed rink is unreliable at the best of times, and a lot of families drive in from farms and acreages where mobile data is thin. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the arena means nobody has to choose between watching the game and staying reachable.

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