Ice skating rink development

[Michael K Gallagher]

Hey BP Fam, so in the interest of putting our goals out into the world, one of my long time goals and hopefully reality sooner rather than later is to build and develop the world's most elite training facility and arena purpose built for figure skating, more specifically syncro.  The general idea is that there are plenty of arenas and facilities that cater to both hockey and figure skating, but usually the hockey ends up overshadowing and pushing out the figure skating on ice time etc...

So in the interest of niches make riches....it will be an arena with no hockey (I'm playing with the idea of allowing hockey on an outdoor skating surface...think OG pond hockey with trash cans)

All that to ask and put out there into the BP universe if anyone has any experience developing ice rinks, refurbishing them, or operating them, I'd love to connect and learn more about the process and share the vision in more detail. 

cheers!
