CLEARWATER, Fla.—The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), a sports and event venues management company, has expanded its ice rink portfolio by taking over management of 13 ice rinks across 11 states. Additionally, they have also assumed management of two community centers. The facilities were previously operated by Rink Management Services (RMS), whose operational leadership and staff will transition into the SFC network.
The new ice rinks include:
• Bryant Park Winter Village Ice Rink – New York, N.Y.
• Lloyd Center Ice Rink – Portland, Ore.
• Metro Park Toledo Glass City Ice & Roller – Toledo, Ohio
• Wichita Ice Center – Wichita, Kan.
• Parks Mall at Arlington – Arlington, Texas
• Ice Skate USA Memorial City – Houston, Texas
• Ice in Paradise – Goleta, Calif.
• Breslow Ice Hockey Center – Lincoln, Neb.
• Waconia Ice Arena – Waconia, Minn.
• Industry City Ice Rink – New York, N.Y.
• Elevance Health Rink at Bicentennial Plaza – Indianapolis, Ind.
• Washington Harbour Ice Rink – Washington, D.C.
• McCormick Tribune Ice Rink – Chicago, Ill.
“SFC continues to expand our presence as a leader in ice rink management, and this is an exciting step in that journey,” says Jason Clement, CEO of The Sports Facilities Companies. “RMS has built a strong footprint in the industry, and by integrating their experience with our proven approach to operations and community service, we are enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional outcomes for athletes, guests, and the communities we serve.”
With this expansion, SFC now manages 20 ice rinks nationwide.
“We are thrilled to bring these facilities into the SFC family and continue our momentum as a leader in ice rink management,” says Kelly Kryukov, senior vice president of ice venue operations at The Sports Facilities Companies. “Ice rinks serve as vital community hubs—whether it’s for youth hockey, figure skating, or public skating sessions. Our focus is on elevating these venues by enhancing programming, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring they remain accessible and welcoming spaces for all athletes and families.”
As part of the deal, SFC will also take over management of multiple non-ice facilities, including the Romulus Athletic Center in Romulus, Michigan, and the Safari Island Community Center in Waconia, Minnesota. RMS will maintain a small portfolio of leased agreements while SFC assumes management of the acquired facilities.
