When national tournaments come to Cornerstone Community Center (CCC), the impact goes far beyond the rink. Families fill local hotels. Teams dine in area restaurants. Visitors shop, explore and experience the Greater Green Bay area. Each national tournament hosted at Cornerstone generates an estimated $5 million in economic
impact for the region, and that multiplies with every additional event.

Through its Grow the ‘Stone campaign, CCC is advancing a $23 million project that will add a fourth sheet of ice and increase seating capacity by 3,000. The ongoing expansion is expected to create far-reaching benefits for both the local economy and the families who rely on the facility for practice, league games, private lessons or personal recreation.

“Cornerstone will be able to host larger national competitions and attract more teams than ever before,” said CCC Manager Don Chilson. “This strengthens the economic vitality of Northeast Wisconsin while continuing our mission of affordable, accessible recreation.”

Since 2019, our community has raised $20 million toward this $23 million project, and construction is underway. Now, we’re inviting business leaders and community champions to help us close the gap. Investing in Grow the ‘Stone isn’t just about hockey or skating. It’s about jobs, tourism, youth development and regional pride.

“The added rink is more than increasing our capacity,” explained Chilson. “It means creating more opportunities for kids and families, giving athletes a place to grow and helping our region continue to thrive through sports tourism and community investment.”
