how much does it cost to maintain an ice arena?

You could always use it as a swimming pool if it turns out the ice isn't so sturdy...\n\nThat shouldn't cost much, just dig a hole, put water in it, and some ice cubes. Wait for the winter.

Players on AHL contracts earn on average about $55,000 a season.\n\nAccording to a few fans, the pay for the SPHL is around $25,000 a year.\n\nAccording to another fan, the average ECHL player in 1999 made roughly $412.00 a week.  That amounts to about $21,424.00 a year.\n\nHere is a link to a break-down of the salary structure for minor leagues during the 98-99 season: http://www.hockeyzoneplus.com/$minor_e.htm

I don't think this is a good idea.  There would be problems between the residents and the patrons of the ice arena.  The residents would not be happy with the noise and traffic from the ice arena.

Check with your cable or satellite provider and see if they offer "NHL Center Ice."  It's a premium subscription service that shows just about every hockey game, as long as its being telecast somewhere.

hmmm....  I would say about $60 - $70 for a full day adult ticket and about $50 for the board and boot rental.  so i would expect you to pay about $120 for the day if you don't own your own gear.

Depends who all signed it. The blackhawks arent that great of a team so it wouldnt be as much as say a Detroit Red Wings 2002 Stick. But I'd have to say at least $50. My recomendation is to hold onto it longer till all the players on their go on to retire and maybe pass it on to your kids or grandkids and it will be worth alot more.

Thats not totally true. There is a rink down in southwest florida that has the best ice, or close to the best, in the ECHL. It has also been said that they have better ice than many NHL buildings. They also host numerous non-ice events each year and are home to a NBDL team and an arena football team. It's true that it does make for worse ice conditions but by proper maintance it can be fixed. The worst ice in the NHL is Madison Square Garden. Also keep in mind that some teams want different ice conditions based on who they're playing. When Chicago plays Detroit in Chicago, they soften the ice so it is slower. It gives them an advantage over the faster Detroit team.

HELL NO!!! Use that money to repair the stuff in New Orleans, or get ready for disasters. There's other money making ideas out there. Most sports owners are corrupt, and it would be way unfair to the public if their tax dollars are going to fund some sports arena. What if they don't like sports???

call a local concreat company and let him know it is for a community arena and ask him for this info.  They will probably give you a general idea.

generally this means two things: the arena is older, and they need a new arena to put in "club seats" seats that are off limits to regular ticket buyers and the ones who do buy them pay an upfront fee to the team for the priviledge of those seats and then the buyers of those privledged seats have to pay again for the tickets, so the team in essence gets paid two times for the seats, once for the privledge of owning the club seats and a second fee for the tickets them selves. it boosts revenue for the team twice over

Buy a "backyard ice rink" kit. I've seen these advertised in hockey magazines like the USA Hockey members magazine. They are easily found on the web as well. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you will minimally need to put together some kind of frame and potentially lay out plastic to keep the water from seeping into the ground.  If you have a natural depression in your yard (as was the case with my dirt driveway when growing up) and you don't care about the shape of your rink you could just fill it with water when it gets cold enough.  You can't get much cheaper than that!
