SKATERS TO HAVE NEW ‘NEST’
This winter, hockey players and figure skaters will have a new place to hone their skills.
Construction of the “Hornets Nest” is under way at Braemar Arena. The two-story
expansion, initiated by a group of dedicated Edina Hornet hockey fans, will include new
locker rooms and associated space for the Edina High School boys and girls hockey
teams. The Hornets Nest will also include a General Sports retail store and Velocity
dryland training facility.
Private donations are making the project possible. Approval of the $3 million project
was contingent on the “Drive for the Hive” advocates raising nearly $800,000 in private
contributions. Edina Public Schools will cover expenses associated with operating the
locker rooms and the Edina Hockey Association and Braemar-City of Lakes Figure Skating
Club will pay a $20 annual surcharge for each of their participants for 20 years. Those
sources, along with lease revenue for the training facility and retail area, are meant to
cover the costs of the project.
The initial goal of the project was to give the storied Edina Hornet hockey teams
home locker rooms comparable to those in neighboring communities. Existing locker
rooms were decades old and had become tired, inefficient and unbecoming to teams
as successful as the Hornets. Hornet fans knew neither the school district nor the City
would be able to pay for new locker rooms. In 2010, the group of fans introduced the
concept of a public-private partnership that would not only cover the costs of the bonds
to the City, but also provided a dryland training facility that will benefit the entire Edina
skating community. A sporting goods retail space was also envisioned to serve the needs
of baseball, hockey, figure skating, soccer, lacrosse and football players who frequently
visit the Braemar Arena area.
New life was breathed into the project in November of 2011. The Drive for the Hive, LLC,
was formed and volunteers began raising money. The Drive also worked with associations
to get them to agree to annual surcharge fees for the life of the bonds. They also secured
two private entities to lease space in the upper level of the Hornets Nest.
The project was approved by the Edina City Council in July. Construction began Aug. 1.
Skating enthusiasts are looking forward to a Dec. 1 grand opening.
