For us, Hyde Park Ice Rink is not just another average rink – it's a second home. It is a vital part of our community in Niagara Falls, NY, providing invaluable recreational opportunities and fostering a sense of belonging among residents. Managed by a locally owned and operated entity Mike Carella and Niagara Sports Tournament (NST), this rink contributes significantly to the local culture and economy by making ice skating and hockey accessible to people who might otherwise not be able to participate.

Under the dedicated and enthusiastic leadership of Mike Carella, the Hyde Park Ice Rink has become a beloved hub for families and sports enthusiasts alike. It offers not only a space for physical activity but also a community gathering spot where friendships are forged and lifelong memories are made. During the long winter months, it stands as one of the few activities available, bringing joy and vibrancy to our city.

However, recent developments threaten to change the management of our cherished rink. We believe that transitioning to different management could disrupt the harmony and effectiveness that Mike Carella and NST have cultivated over the years. The unwavering commitment of Mike Carella and the creative tournaments organized by NST have brought a unique charm and vitality to the rink, qualities that are fundamental to its identity.

We urge the City of Niagara Falls to reconsider any decisions that might shift the management of Hyde Park Ice Rink away from its current hands. Keeping the rink under the management of Mike Carella and NST ensures continuity and preserves the community's connection to this essential recreational facility.

Join us in urging local officials and decision-makers to recognize the significant contributions of the current management team and to keep Hyde Park Ice Rink under their competent and caring leadership.
