Eagle River is home to just 1,700 year-round residents. They proudly call themselves the "Hockey Capital of Wisconsin." In 1983, it became the home to the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame.
The town is also home to the infamous arena known as "The Dome." Built back in 1933, The Dome is in need of some major renovations to the artificial ice plant and the under-concrete piping.
