Construction is underway for a new 200 x 85 ice rink in Union New Jersey

Mr. Ken Anderson of Union Sports Arena LLC indicated that his management team will be installing a premier facility to accommodate a growing need for ice time in the New Jersey area. The complex will include a comprehensive hockey program (i.e., house leagues, men‘s leagues, youth hockey and learn to play hockey programs). Figure skating and public skating will also be hosted.

The complex is being retrofitted into an existing building, which was previously a tennis facility. The ice system is being supplied by Burley’s Rink Supply (BRS) of Johnstown, PA. BRS will be installing their high performance TurboChiller refrigeration system, along with a unique “Curbless” dasherboard system, which enables the entire ice system to be installed directly atop of the existing concrete floor without the need for a separate concrete curb. John Burley, president of BRS, indicated that the “Curbless” system is ideal for retrofits over concrete floors because it eliminates the cost and construction time required of installing a separate concrete curbing while still permitting the installation of a complete sub-soil heating system and rink-floor insulation membrane.

A new entity with some reliable old names from the rink business has also taken a leadership position in spear heading this project. Jim McKain and Wayne Aussem of the Newly formed Entity of North American Ice was engaged by Mr. Anderson to help guide his project through the design phase. North American Ice was formed to provide consulting and management to the arena industry. North American Ice’s services are widespread from initial feasibility studies, to consulting for management and/or construction activities.
