It has open ice available, as well a number of various events throughout the season. The local High School, Roosevelt, hosts their graduation ceremony there every year.

The Arena was named after Benjamin Yack. He was Wyandotte's first recreational director and was commissioned in 1936. The actual name of the arena was assigned to him in 1969. In addition, he was instrumental in getting the baseball field at Pulaski Park to be lit up with lights in 1939.
