For those of us who have previously toured the new Florida Hospital Center Ice (FCHI) off S.R. 56 in Wesley Chapel, there were only two things missing — people skating and the ice itself.

Well, as of Jan. 19, the largest ice skating and hockey facility south of New York state began the process of creating the ice, so that it can be painted, finished and open for skaters.

The facility and the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) hosted a ceremonial puck drop on Jan. 25. We’ll have extensive coverage in our next edition, which hits mailboxes Feb. 10.

Learn to Skate will hold its first lessons in Saturday morning.

And there are open skate sessions all weekend, starting today from noon-2 p.m. and tonight from 8-10 p.m., Saturday (noon-2 p.m., 4:30-6:30 p.m., 8-10 p.m.) and Sunday (1-3 p.m., 6-8 p.m.).
