For just over seven years, St. Luke’s Hockey team has called SoNo Ice House its home, where they have spent countless hours on the ice and in the team’s state of the art locker room.
SLS has a full suite next to the main rink, complete with varsity and middle school locker rooms, bathroom and shower facilities, a training room, and a coach's office. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of a St. Luke’s family back in 2012.
The SLS suite includes custom wooden lockers, including larger lockers fitted for goalies, flat-screen televisions, a full work station for coaches, a training table, a Bluetooth sound system, and various other amenities.
