Druley: Fox Valley Ice arena gets new tenants

Created: Friday, September 2, 2011 5:30 a.m. CDT

Beginning this month, the Ice Arena’s newest tenants can deflect the proverbial ball back with a mammoth slap shot.

On Thursday, the Chicago Hitmen announced that its North American Hockey League and North American 3 Hockey League clubs would move to Fox Valley this fall after eight seasons at the West Meadows Ice Arena in Rolling Meadows.
