The Peterborough Public Library branch at Miskin Law Community Complex will open in February 2025.

Following the official opening event in January, the City will invite the community to visit the new facility, including offering free public skating opportunities.

The City will work with user groups to plan for scheduled use/ice time rentals and ensure ice pads are available for community tournaments. During off-peak facility use hours, minor work may continue to be completed at Miskin Law Community Complex.

Community events and unveiling other spaces within the Miskin Law Community Complex will occur in the weeks following the official opening.

Miskin Law Community Complex is a new facility being built at the southeast corner of Lansdowne and Park streets, which will include a twin-pad arena, a Peterborough Public Library branch, an indoor track for walking and running, and a multi-use space. When the building opens, the south pad will be called the Canadian Hockey Enterprises Pad.

CHE offers camps and tournaments for adults and youth across North America.

“Canadian Hockey Enterprises is proud to call the new Miskin Law Community Complex home,” said Paul Crowley of CHE. “As founder of CHE I can passionately say it’s a dream come true for our seven full-time staff. Since 1987 CHE has called Peterborough home and has been organizing and offering International Tournaments and Camps for Men, Women, Boys and Girls. CHE will soon be launching our first CHE Academy here at the Community Complex. Check us out on the second floor and ask about our Hockey Programming or just drop by and say hello.”

“Canadian Hockey Enterprises' decision to invest in our community through both a significant sponsorship and by establishing its offices at the Miskin Law Community Complex is a testament to the vibrant future of this facility,” said Councillor Gary Baldwin and Councillor Lesley Parnell. “Its commitment not only supports the development of our city's sports and recreation infrastructure but also strengthens our local economy. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our community and the opportunities it will create for our residents.”

CHE is now the third major sponsor supporting the city’s newest community complex. Miskin Law has secured the overall naming rights for the complex, known as the Miskin Law Community Complex. Russelle Toyota has secured the Naming Rights to the north pad, and now Canadian Hockey Enterprises will be the name on the south pad. These naming rights sponsorships will collectively contribute more than $1 million toward the project’s capital budget according to a press release.

Additionally, CHE has agreed to a 10-year lease with the City of Peterborough for approximately 161 square metres of space on the upper level of the Miskin Law Community Complex. The space will host CHE’s corporate and administrative offices. CHE will be responsible for finishing the construction costs of its lease space and paying the City a monthly lease rate for the office space.
