This group is for anyone interested in any aspect involving the start-up or continuing operation of an ice skating facility. Prospective or current owners, current or future employees, current or future suppliers to the ice skating industry are all welcome to exchange topics, questions, and hopefully helpful replies. We welcome topics on everything from employee relations, where to buy products or services, how to start and continue figure skating and hockey programs, ice resurfacing tips, advertising, and all kinds of event and employee scheduling. We want to strongly recognize that our sport should be viewed as an activity that is family oriented by being not only a form of recreation but also entertaining.
