 In January 2008, a "McIntyre Ad Hoc Committee" was formed to examine ways to reduce the operating deficit and explore possible upgrades to the aging building.Some of the recent renovations include the replacement of all of the arena seats, the installation of a new centre ice scoreboard, and a refurbished box office.The McIntyre Arena was the main venue for the 2010 World U-17 Hockey Challenge held between December 29, 2009 and January 4, 2010.
