Itasca County Family YMCA officials are calling the opening of a new outdoor ice rink in Grand Rapids a celebration of life.

The Marshall Bader Memorial Rink was officially dedicated last week in remembrance of Marshall Bader, a third grader from Grand Rapids who died in a farming accident at his home in January 2020. Bader loved hockey, and the YMCA and city of Grand Rapids teamed up to build the rink in his honor.
