I have taken children and grandchildren to skating rinks (free skating and ice hockey) for over 40 years. There have been no consistent facilities in our geographic area (Squirrel Hill) despite our very large and dense population. Such a facility would be most welcome.
I live in Point Breeze and my son attends Sacred Heart near the Hunt Armory. This community needs more recreational spaces for children and adults in the area. In my view this would be an ideal use for the space and preserve the building for public use.
Pittsburgh does not a single year-round ice rink within city limits. Converting Hunt Armory in Shadyside into a community center with an ice rink will enhance the quality of life for the city residents, particularly for families.
The East End has exploded with new residential units. This is wonderful, but we also have to maintain and build urban community venues to attract those that want to live in the city. An ice rink would be a beloved addition for our urban Pittsburgh community.
As a member of the Ubiversity of Pittsburgh Club Ice Hockey team, this rink would allow us to practice at much more reasonable times. Currently, we practice at 11 PM during the week at the Harmarville Bladerunners, which is a 30 minute drive from campus.
We need Ice rink

I support the comments of my wife Jennifer Andrade, including the benefits such a rink would bring to the city in general Such a rink would also possibly expose many of our African American youth in the city to the benefits and fun of hockey.
