A NOTE FROM THE GM

Dear Sky Rink Friends and Families:

As we move into 2019, we are excited to mark the 50th

Anniversary of Sky Rink. Starting in 1969 on a rooftop at

33rd Street and ending with our new home at Chelsea Piers,

we are proud of what we have accomplished throughout the

years. It’s as rewarding to watch hockey players and figure

skaters work hard every day to achieve their goals as it is to

see recreational skaters discover the ice for the first time. In

a true testament to our family values, we now have several

generations of skaters that call Sky Rink home.

Our mission is to provide the best curriculum, instructors and

coaches, and to ensure our customers have a well-rounded

skating experience. Whether you’re starting with Learn to

Skate classes, competing in a Cyclones travel hockey game,

or enjoying a Sunday afternoon general skating session, the

Sky Rink team strives to exceed your expectations.

For Sky Rink, 2018 was a banner year, highlighted by

successfully assuming the management of the NYC Cyclones

Organization. The Cyclones program at Sky Rink provides

players of all ages and abilities the opportunity to practice, play

and compete for NYC’s premier youth hockey organization.

We’re thrilled that the feedback and response from the

parents and players involved in the program have been

incredibly positive.

In addition, Sky Rink Skating School’s very successful Learn

to Skate USA curriculum and extended training sessions have

provided customers with an unrivaled learning experience for

the last three years.

In 2019, the entire Sky Rink team looks forward to celebrating

“50 Years of Teaching New Yorkers How to Skate.” As

always, we value your opinion and encourage all customers to

provide feedback so that we can constantly improve upon and

provide the best possible customer experience at Sky Rink.

Here’s to 50 years of skating at Sky Rink, and to 50 more!

Sincerely,

Jim Bugenhagen

General Manager

YOUTHHOCKEY

Sky Rink, the home of youth hockey in NYC, is proud to announce

the new Cyclones Youth Hockey program. The program values hard

work, teamwork, friendship and fun and is dedicated to improving

each player’s skills through the best coaching and challenging

competition.

JUNIOR CYCLONESYouth Development Program (5-12 years)

Our development programs are

designed for players who are

not quite ready to participate

at league level play. In these

instructional programs, young players are introduced to

the fundamental skills of hockey in a fun and positive

learning environment. The curriculum is based on skill-

intensive drills modified to meet the needs of beginners.

On Saturdays, players are divided by ability for inter-

squad, cross-ice games in order to help develop game

experience and prepare them for the Cyclones Travel

Program.

Program Highlights

• Expanded, skill-intensive curriculum

• Cross-ice teams are divided by playing ability

• Low player-to-coach ratio
