Dresden is honouring one of its own by formally changing the name of the arena.
The Lambton-Kent Memorial Agricultural Centre will soon be named the “Ken Houston Memorial Agricultural Centre” in honour of the late former NHL player.
Houston’s father Lyle says this is just one more step in his career. “Every kid that goes into the arena can see what he has done and inspire them to go on and do good things and maybe they’ll make the NHL too.”
The official name change will unveiled during the Rogers Hometown Hockey festivities on December 15th.
Houston passed away last March.
