“I know that this event will be viewed ambiguously by our people. Someone will complain that today it is not the time for such construction projects. This is not true.

I want your kids to have an opportunity to play this great men’s, and already women’s, sport, ice hockey, in good conditions,” the head of state noted.

Alexander Lukashenko expressed wish that good athletes, including Olympic champions, would be brought up in this sports complex.

Let us live on this land, love this land, take up favorite sports. Take your children in here, and later they will bring you here as well,” he said.

Apart from the ice rink, the sports complex in Shklov includes gyms, training and choreography halls, sauna with a small swimming pool, a cafe and other facilities. The Ice Arena also boasts a 1.9km ski and roller track.

The complex is designed to host different exhibitions, cultural and other events.
