Temporary Ice Rink To Open
The
long awaited temporary ice rink in Milton Keynes is set to open at the
end of October and the official opening on the 2nd November 2013. Ian
Cooke the managing director said at the meeting that they had now got
the a temporary loan from the council so things can now get under way.
Most of the items have now been ordered and hopefully everything should
arrive in time. However with the Christmas season just around the
corner and other people ordering temporary ice rinks the team are
hoping the rink barriers will be here in time from Canada. Having the
new rink will be very beneficial for some of the local ice
hockey
teams,including MK Thunder who will now have a base to play their games
from. The ladies team MK Falcons will play and train from this rink as
will a few of the other rec teams. Junior ice hockey will
hopefully be back to full strength with parents at the moment having to
drag their kids up to Coventry to the other Planet Ice rink to continue
their training and their home games would have been played from
Birmingham. For many parents of the MK Storm hockey team this was not
an ideal situation.
The New Rink is located in the Old Waitrose As well as the
ice hockey teams, the figure skaters will be
glad of a local rink again as the nearest proper ice rink to Milton
Keynes is Coventry. There was also going to be an option before the new
temporary ice rink came about for the Under 10s ice hockey team
to train out of Hemel Hempstead, however it looks as though that ice
rink is due to close as well. So there is a big thanks to Dave
Fearhurst, Chairman, and Ian Cooke of MK Ice and all the many people
behind this temporary ice rink in
Milton Keynes for getting this project off the ground,Supermarket
Midsummer Boulavard Milton Keynes.
