Town of Tonawanda eyes building new Brighton Arena
http://buffalonews.com/2018/03/11/to...a-hockey-rink/There are 1,114 registered hockey players in the Town of Tonawanda but more than half – 668 – play outside the town, said Town of Tonawanda Councilman Daniel Crangle. "A lot of this is the condition of the rinks," he said.
Seems like a lot of money to spend for 1100 kids.

I don't know who this is but don't people think of the cost associated with ideas like this? If and extra rink or two helps why don't we do 5 instead? Right?Max Teller Give these boys and girls something positive to do with their time. If an extra hockey rink or two helps with hockey and open skating activities for kids, it's a no brainer. Set up a local equipment swap program too to help parents lower the cost of their kids participating in these sports. Around these parts, with hockey rinks, it seems that, if you build it, they will come. Just look at the success of the "Pepsi Center" (think it's Northtown Center now) and the new Harbor Place in Buffalo. I hope the town can find a way to make this happen!
This seems more like common sense. Larger audience to cater to.Vicky Zeis Can we please have an indoor turf field instead for all year round?? Please!!!! Almost every single other sport is played on turf. Like Sportsplex or the Epic center. You would get thousands of kids using that space!
