When I was younger (late 90s-early 2000s) we played roller hockey there all day long!!! In the summer we would have pick up games almost 2 or 3 times weekly...when at the time Brad Snyder and some other guys who had their life together put up rink walls...with the idea of filling it in to have an ice rink...One neighbor cried around about the kids destroying things at the rink...the rink walls were ripped down...my friends never did the things that were said...it was other kids who never played hockey had ruined it for everyone...Brad and I can't remember else that was involved did an awesome job then...only to have it ruined...now Mike whiteford is doing something for the kids...and people should commend him...and do whatever it takes for those kids to have that...i have lived in bellwood for 31+ yrs and I'm proud to be apart of a community like it..I want the same for my kids as should you for your kids..save the rink!!!!

I no longer live in Bellwood but I have many happy memories of when I was a kid growing up there. There was so much for us to do and it was taken all away. There is nothing for today's kids to do. We need to bring back fun things to get these kids involved instead of being inside and always on electronics.
