New Guidelines For Ice Time At City Rinks

For the first time this fall, the city will be using policy guidelines when it comes to designating ice time at it’s four rinks......the Hilton Belyea, the Charles Gorman, the Stu Hurley and the Peter Murray arenas.  

Kevin Watson with the city says the new guidelines give priority to Saint John programs and young people.  

Watson says the new guidelines also allot equal ice time to both men and women.  He says girls hockey has really picked up in the city and the ice time needs to be split equally between the two genders.

The new guidelines will not affect ice times at Harbour Station or the Lord Beaverbrook Rink, which are independently owned.
