Rink Relations Meeting

This afternoon I attended the Rink Relations meeting. It was presented by STAR (Serving the American Rinks) which is a membership association that provides education, training and new resources to facilities, individuals and vendors. It is a joint venture of USFS and USA Hockey to help promote and support all figure skating and hockey events as well as train and certify rink employees in management and ice maintenance.

I can say that most of the suggestions that they had for attendees were things that the board of St Moritz has practiced in the past or has recently put into practice for communicating with the management of both of our facilities. We are basically long term tenants at our facilities and building that relationship is a necessity.

  1. Hi Phillip, I have been aware of the STAR group for a long time. I truly stand behind many of the principles they support… Beside USFS and USA Hockey, I like the programs that support the smaller special groups that include my friends the Ice Dancers, Speed Skaters, learn to skate programs, High School programs, and even our friends the Curlers. If we are to keep our place to play it’s necessary for good communication and all of us working toward a common goal and continue having FUN… Thanks for sharing. Don
