Anyone who is interested can skate. I think you were joking, but people need to leave race out of hobbies. Its up to the individual (a concept that's apparently foreign to some people) to do whatever he likes.
Is there enough demand for ice hockey, figure skating, and recreational skating in a circle in the Bronx? A couple of guys at work is not enough. NYC already has World Ice, City Ice, Aviator, Chelsea Piers Sky Rink. If Messier was smart he would have opted for a place in Westchester. There is more demand for Ice sports up there than in the Bronx.
It is. Was talking to a buddy of mine from Queens last night who plays ice hockey. He's hyped about it. He probably never goes to the Bronx and soon he will often.
If he wants to play Ice hockey, he has to go where the players are. Currently the best recreational players are close to Skyrink, City Ice Pavilion for adult leagues. What reason do they have to go to the Bronx, just to check out the rink? City Ice Pavilion, and World Ice are in more centrally located. So more convenient for everyone from Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan even and Nassau County to get to.

There are already a few places in Westchester. I used to take lessons at Hommocks when I was a kid but I know are several others. There aren't any in the Bronx. Developers are very calculated. If they believe this is a good fit area, they are probably right.

I think he said he goes to some ring in LIC and another in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

I used to take the kids to the Bryant Park rink every week in nice weather - the rink was always packed with a very diverse crowd. NYC could definitely use more rinks and we'd skate at the armory for sure. Nine rinks are a lot though - I guess the developers know what they're doing. I generally think it's a good use, definitely better than another shopping center. The other proposal was also interesting. Too bad they couldn't have combined the two somehow.
