Polar Ice

As I blogged previously, Polar Ice has taken over our rink. Here's the blurb from their webpage:

Polar Ice Expands to Tucson

Polar Ice Entertainment, headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, has added Gateway Ice Center in Tucson to its growing list of entertainment facilities across the United States.

Gateway Ice Center, a 76,000-square-foot family entertainment facility that features twin National Hockey League sized ice rinks, opened in 1995 at 7333 Rosewood Street in Tucson. The ownership of the facility is scheduled to change hands on April 15, 2004, at which point the facility will become “Polar Ice Tucson” through a long-term lease agreement between the new owners and Polar Ice Entertainment, Inc.

The addition of Gateway Ice Center to the Polar Ice Entertainment is the third such facility in Arizona. Polar Ice Entertainment owns and operates the Desert Schools Coyotes Centers in Chandler and Peoria.

In addition, Polar Ice Entertainment owns and or operates four additional entertainment venues across the United States, including facilities in New York, Illinois and Texas.

Polar Ice Entertainment, Inc. is the only privately owned corporation that has working partnerships with two National Hockey League teams; the Phoenix Coyotes in Phoenix, Arizona and the Dallas Stars in Texas. The Polar Ice Entertainment, Inc. owned facilities in Phoenix are branded Desert Schools Coyotes Centers while in Dallas the owned facility is branded Dr. Pepper Star Center.

The Polar Ice Tucson website is scheduled to come online shortly after the opening.
