Jacksonville Ice & Sportsplex to get facelift, become 'Icemen Igloo' with two rinks, restaurant and bar | firstcoastnews.com

Good for the local hockey scene in Jacksonville and more broadly Northeast Florida. Also good to see investment into the community from the team. Was kind of hoping after their recent Lizard Kings throwback night they'd move to rebrand to that classic ECHL identity.

Also, to clarify since facts are hard for Hutch, it's not their arena. They're buying the practice/community rink.

then where's it been for 28 years....

The article says, and this is a direct copy and paste:

"After 28 years, the Jacksonville Ice & Sports Complex will become "The Icemen Igloo” courtesy of the Jacksonville Icemen hockey team."

"Renovations will begin in August and it will be a 10 to 12-month project. The overall project cost is $18.5M, includes the Icemen buying the building."

It can't get any clearer than that. I'm not arguing with you over this, and this is my last post about this subject.

It's not unlike what the Indy Fuel did a few years ago; buying an ice rink in the area (in this case, The Fuel Tank in Carmel) and making renovations, helping the game and spreading their influence.

The Railers built their own facility to do the same thing...it's awesome when teams can do things like that for their communities.
