Solution:
Arizon designed an ice rink dome to include translucent fabric to make use of natural daytime light.
A low-bias cable system for added stability during severe weather was included.
Energy efficient HVAC equipment was used to maintain interior temperatures ideal for supporting an ice rink.
Result:

The Arrows Youth Hockey association, a well-known local league for kids and teens hockey, uses the dome regularly for practices and tournaments.
In summer, the rink is converted to an indoor soccer field, which is used by local youth soccer teams.
