For the purpose of this report, Hermantown hockey includes all of HAHA’s youth games and tournaments, the Hermantown High School hockey program (uses the Hermantown arena), and the operations of the Hermantown Arena. HAHA also requested research on the potential economic impacts of adding a second sheet of ice to the arena that would add capacity for additional games and tournaments throughout the season. The BBER first focused on Hermantown hockey’s current impacts on the economy and then estimated the possible impacts of expanding the existing arena.enBureau of Business and Economic ResearchUniversity of Minnesota Duluthsports/recreationLabovitz School of Business and Economicseconomic impact analysisSt. Louis CountyEconomic Impact of the Hermantown Amateur Hockey Association on Duluth, Hermantown, and Proctor, MinnesotaReport
