Maverick Sports Centre
manager Jason

Maverick Paintball, locat-
ed at the old Zurich
arena.
The facility had its grand
opening May 27 with a

The sports centre is

Pennington said while

Pennington, is it is well
supervised with several
referees on the field at all

ty briefing before playing.
The action will be open
to spectators who are
totally safe, said
Pennington who added it
