The Norman Northstars have been approved for a 3 year rate freeze by the City.

The rate freeze will apply to the hockey team’s facility rentals from the City, including game day facility rentals, and ice rentals.

The request came from President Brad Salamandyk, who wrote that the rate freeze would help the team economically strategize for future years.

Salamandyk requested a 4 year rate freeze, but the Recreation and Community Services Committee recommended only 3 so that a future council could decide to extend it at the time.

Mayor Dennis Fenske supported the request, saying the Norman Northstars have the largest attendance in the league, both at home and on the road.
