The South Shore Sports Center is a total loss, according
to fire officials, and that's a hard pill to swallow
for the local community.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We can definitely still smell smoke. I can imagine everybody
from around here is going to probably come together and
hopefully they can get it cleaned up and get a
new facility as soon as possible.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Next Door to the complex this Pilgrim Skating Arena, and
there's some shared summer programming that's going to have to
look different this year as they clean up the damage.
Jason Joyce is one of the managers at the rink.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well, they'll do soccer and skating, or we'll cross and skating.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's still very early.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
We're hopefully trying to figure out something with the programs
that have booked with us, if we can maybe set
up a bubble or find a field or something so
they can continue their campus advertised.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
He wants the sports center to return once it's time
to rebuild.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh, I'd love to see it still be retained for
a sports use around here. I think it's a I
think it's a great facility. A lot of people have
had a lot of great memories here and if I mean,
if that was to happen. That would be a best
case scenario
