rink owners forum?

[StevePasz]

Ok all you rink owners I need some help. Are there any rink owners web sites or user groups out there to get some information about running a rink?

I am getting very close to opening a rink, I have some investors lined up but they dont want to just listen to me tell them what a great investment this is going to be. I want to be able to show them some physical proof.

I have some of the web sites from the pro and semi pro roller leagues and a few other rinks to show them but I need to be able to win them over on the first shot at this.

I would like to talk to some owners and just get a feel for what is going on out there.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Steve

Feel free to email me if you would like to keep any information private

Steve,

There's a deep well of applicable content about rink operator programs and "what's going on out there" right inside the forums at IHC! There is also a number of rink owner/operator/manager IHC members who contribute to that content regularly. I am not one of them, I'm just a marketing guy who develops business plans, etc., and am heavily involved with scholastic and youth hockey programs here in So CA.

Included below are some links to OH organizations which may be of interest.
