SeaComm Provides New Scoreboard for Massena Arena
We are proud to support the Massena Arena by purchasing a new Nevco scoreboard, replacing the previous one that was obtained from Clarkson University’s Cheel Arena in 1994. SeaComm donated the $45,000 needed to make the purchase, allowing us to help the arena hang a brand new, wireless scoreboard just in time for the start of the upcoming hockey season.
"Hockey is a legacy sport in Massena, spanning generations of youth. Our support for the new scoreboard at the Massena Arena extends our ongoing commitment to youth hockey, from Mites and Bantams to high school varsity. We are so proud to be a part of this fundamental sport," SeaComm President and CEO, Scott A. Wilson, said as he and other SeaComm representatives visited the arena to see the new scoreboard.
