The Wait is Over!!

We’re excited to share a major update on the future of ASHL and Arnold Park.

Since CPA funding was awarded, the league has been working with the Town, DPW, Town Manager, Bruins Foundation, and Sanborn Engineering to prepare the project for public bid. It has been a thorough process, and we appreciate everyone who helped move it forward.

On April 1, 2026, the project was publicly offered for sealed bid. On April 8, 2026, the bid was awarded to Dandel, Inc., a locally owned company from Hanson. We thank them and look forward to working with them.

The contract is scheduled to be completed by July 1, 2026. As we get further along, we’ll share updates on the timeline, league start dates, and season details as they come.

We truly believe what is coming to Arnold Park will benefit Abington families for decades — not just for street hockey, but for basketball, baseball, the playground, and the entire park community.

The one remaining challenge is lighting. Without lighting, some games may need to be played over two nights, which would make scheduling tougher for families, especially those with siblings on different teams. We are not far off from making lighting happen, but we need to raise approximately $17,000 in the next 60 days.

We believe this community can get it done. We’re brainstorming fundraising ideas and are open to suggestions, sponsorships, and any generous donors who want to help bring this across the finish line.

The future of ASHL has never been brighter, and we are on pace to return to our own backyard at historic Arnold Park in the summer of 2026.

Registration is now live for Abington residents on our website.

See you at the Rink,

Bryan & Jon
