A professional hockey team could begin playing at the Casper Events Center as early as fall 2013.

City Manager John Patterson said the city is in the process of bringing Central Hockey League play to the area, as community interest sparked the notion about three months ago.

“There are a number of people who love hockey and want to see professional hockey here,” he said.

At a monthly Casper City Council meeting on Friday, Patterson said the city is working to assemble an “investment board.” The board would purchase a team and install the ice rink. Patterson said the city wouldn’t contribute to the project but provides an ideal facility in the Events Center with enough space and seating.

“The hope is to put in an ice floor, and create some box seating and get a Jumbotron up there,” he said.
