Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2019) - Canlan Ice Sports Corp. (TSX: ICE), industry-leading providers of recreational sports facilities across North America, announced today that it has completed the sale of its three-pad ice facility, called SportOne Parkview Ice House, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana for US$6.0 million (CA$8.0 million). A local investor group has purchased the facility and will continue ice rink operations at this location.
"After serving the Fort Wayne community over the past 9 years, we determined the optimal plan for the Ice House was to continue operations under local ownership," said Joey St-Aubin, CEO of Canlan Ice Sports Corp.

"We would like to thank our facility staff, user groups, and sponsors for their many years of support in facilitating the growth of ice sports in and around Fort Wayne," added Mr. Gellard, Canlan's Executive Vice-President. "Our working relationships with you will be missed."
