Main St., Prescott Valley, AZ 86314. The Sundogs moved into their new offices this past weekend in conjunction with the painting of 17 in ice logos on the nearly-complete ice surface. In a process lasting 12 hours, staff of both the Arizona Sundogs and the PVCEC painted in ice logos and installed vinyl lines, circles and goal creases so that the ice surface can be built up to the proper level for skating purposes before the home opener for the Sundogs on November 10.
