In 1993, the Oak Creek Hockey Association had a vision of bringing the game of hockey to Oak Creek. They started out with a frozen pond on a piece of property donated by the Town. In 1994, materials were contributed and many volunteer hours were spent to erect the boards around the rink, level the ground and build a small lean-to for the players. Additionally, that was the year the OCHA joined the Colorado Rocky Mountain Hockey League. In 1995, the Town was awarded a Great Outdoors Colorado grant to build the hockey hut. With matching funds from the Town, numerous volunteer hours and donated materials the foundation was laid.
