Although the rains didn’t cooperate, the under-construction Florida Hospital Center Ice (FHCI) skating facility has unveiled its programs to the public with a great event just a few hours before we went to press with this issue on August 8.
Rink developer Gordie Zimmerman (at far left in top left photo) of Z Mitch, LLC, was pleased to be able to sign up some kids to play hockey and/or ice skate when the facility opens — which likely now won’t be until sometime in March of 2016. Zimmerman says the recent three weeks of rain (see story on page 1) and other factors led to the delay.
The Lightning, including former forward Nikita Alexeev (photo, top right), rink sponsor Florida Hospital, SportsRadio 620 WDAE-AM, Reeves Import Motor Cars and Krispy Kreme were all on hand for the event, and there were plenty of interactive games, bounce houses and more.
