North America’s largest indoor winter sports facility is
coming to the Bronx! In case you missed
the news, Mayor Bloomberg and his cohorts announced Kingsbridge Armory will be
converted in sports facility housing 9 ice rinks, 1 of which will have also
have a 5,000 seat arena. I had heard
about this project last year when the Rangers and Mark Messier became attached
to it, but by no means did I think it would get the green light. Seriously, like Jagr once said, and I’m
paraphrasing here, “hockey in New York is the fifth, or maybe sixth, popular
sport, right behind golf.” Well come 2018,
when the project is expected to be complete, the Bronx to become a
hotbed for all hockey activity in New York City.
