dazedandconfused Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Good news/bad news. Keeps the rink under stable ownership. If they jack up ice rates like they did at Southpointe, the players families are the ones that end up paying the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saucey Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 From link above: Black Bear focuses on clusters of rinks in its target markets across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Clustering its rinks provides for optimal management and programming. Working on their cluster I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be gone from youth hockey by then so it doesn't make a difference to me. Given that Center Ice had just renovated, put new ice in all sheets, expanded their parking lot and was adding outdoor Lacrosse, I do find it interesting timing. But this COVID likely will cause multiple rinks to sell off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carroll81 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They have been buying rink here in the East pretty regularly. They recently joined other rinks that operate the teams in their rinks to form their own league. I've seen this business model in other sports and it is very effective - for the rink owners. http://www.blackbearsportsgroup.com/news/black-bear-sports-group-partners-with-ice-arena-owners-to-form-the-atlantic-hockey-federation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeydadlife Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I heard they already raised the extra rink fee for private lessons from $7 a lesson to $10 per half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandconfused Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I mean $7 is pretty cheap, so that would be as expected. The hourly rate for peak season will be the one that sends sticker shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forbin Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Per a contact a Center Ice - "All PAHL and PIHL games will take place as normal, including 8U jams. Just this HockeyTime Tournament was cancelled. Expect to be required to submit roster and guardian list prior to game time and to have ID's and temperatures checked at entry."
