History: Honoring Ronald “Wally” Wallace | 1930 – 2013

Wally Wallace was born April 1, 1930 in Calgary, Alberta where he began his life-long affiliation with Canada’s national pastime, ice hockey. On the ice, Wally had blazing speed, was an outstanding goal scorer, and traveled throughout western Canada and Alaska chasing his NHL dream and playing the game he loved. He moved his family to Bend in 1969 and established youth and adult hockey programs. For over 35 years, he coached generations of Central Oregon ice and roller hockey players until health issues required him to hang up his skates.

Helmets Available & Encouraged: The Pavilion encourages all skaters to wear a helmet while on the ice, especially children. Please bring your own helmet if possible.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that ice skaters use hockey, bicycle, ski or skateboard helmets. If you want to follow that recommendation, it may be best to look for a helmet certified to the ASTM Skateboard standard, F 1492, or even dual certified to the skateboard and bicycle helmet standards. They have some multi-impact capability and more coverage in the rear than a bike helmet.
