OK, who wants to PLAY hockey in Cincinnati while the finalists are resting on Friday March 29? So far, I have contacted 3 places: Northland Ice Skating and Iceland Sports, both 14 miles north on I-75. They cost from $150-185 for an hour of ice. Iceland will have open hockey from 12:15-1:45 that day and public skating at 3:30 and at 7 pm. Northland has open hockey from 4-5:30 that day and several public skating sessions scheduled. All-Seasons, in Northern Kentucky, about 10 minutes from downtown Cincy. $175 an hour. They also have a studio sheet, which might be good for broomball. I still haven't reached a human at Golden Skates (on Kemper, so it might actually be withing the city limits). We could also try Goggin, where the Miami Redskins play, but that is approaching an hour's drive away. Because we will probably have to drive to any arena we find, plus since you won't want to fly with your equipment, this will most likely be only of interest to people who are driving to Cincy. Some of us might be able to bring extra equipment for others to use. Another option is just to rent ice for skating, opening it up to just about anyone. Or maybe even broomball, since you can play that with no equipment. Please fill out the following if you are interested in any way. Return it to me by email. I'll summarize and follow up.
