Kingsbridge Armory




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.
