Cheryl Clapprood Rink

The ice rink at Cyr Arena has been named in honor of Superintendent Cheryl C. Clapprood, a distinguished Springfield Police Department leader. Superintendent Clapprood began her career as a police cadet in 1979, was sworn in as an officer in 1981, and promoted to Sergeant in 1987. She advanced to Lieutenant in 1998 and Deputy Chief in 2017. In February 2019, she was appointed Acting Commissioner by Mayor Sarno and confirmed as the permanent Commissioner in September 2019. Her title was updated to Superintendent in 2022.Superintendent Clapprood retired on April 9, 2024.

Superintendent Clapprood is a strong advocate for the Learn to Skate program, which is hosted by the Springfield Police at Cyr Arena. This program honors the memory of Springfield Police Officer Stephen O’Brien, who passed away from cancer in 2015 at the age of 56. The Springfield Park Commission voted to name the rink at Cyr Arena in recognition of her commitment and support.
