Zack Akin has been playing hockey at the Falleti Ice Arena since he has been three years old.<\/p>\n

The Notre Dame High School Senior was watching the Winter Classic Hockey Game on TV on New Years Day, when he noticed an advertisement for the Kraft Hockeyville competition for a chance to win $150,000 in rink upgrades.<\/p>\n

Akin decided to nominate Falleti Ice Arena on Evans street.<\/p>\n

“Now that I am older, I see little kids coming in and starting to grow up here too, and I think it would be great just to make it a better environment,” says Akin.<\/p>\n

“$150,000 in improvements would do miracles for this place, and I thought it would be great to get this going. Everything costs money, so if the Zamboni breaks, depending on the part, it can be a lot, the locker rooms can be improved and everything could be updated, it would be great for the community and the rink.”<\/p>\n

Akin told his business teacher about nominating the rink, his teacher was looking for a final project for Akin, and now his good intentions have become his final project for a grade in his business class.<\/p>\n

“I made a Twitter page right off the bat. You can find updates here:<\/p>\n
