Local resident Kristeen Colby has applied for authorization to open the arcade in the lower story of 2663 Main St., where Mito Japanese Steakhouse is currently located. The arcade would serve hockey-themed drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

There would be two separate sections, one for adults and the other open to kids. They plan to have hockey-themed prizes and the games will run on tokens.
