Ah, but why maintain the Sully when there are tennis courts to be built?The Alaska Club is actually closing down one of their largest tennis courts because it's losing money and they offered to sell or rent it to the current mayor/former tennis coach, but no deal.. He'd prefer his brand-spankin new $7+ million dollar courts. I read that someone stacked the assembly meeting last week with tennis nerds who showed up to speak about the need for tennis courts.. but no one showed up to talk about hockey facilities. Or at least that's what I read.. In addition to the hockey community, you'd think someone from the Alaska Club would show up to speak..
I've testified against the tennis facility twice since it came up. I've also spoken with several Assembly members who are troubled with how the Mayor pushed this money through without conferring with the Assembly and because of the constantly changing price tag. This is the Mayor's latest sneaky, two-faced attempt at local politics. Everybody needs to be contacting their Assemblymembers so that this money can go towards something beneficial, like improving our existing facilities or improving a current facility in another part of town that is cheaper than the proposed new facility even with the marked up price now being offered. If the Mayor isn't willing to allow basic maintenance on a facility bearing his name, than we certainly don't need to build a new one just to see it get destroyed in a similar fashion.
Contact your Assemblymembers (even you Suze, as a member of the hockey community) and show support for our current facilities that could greatly benefit from the funds!
Wow.. You're getting around!! 
I thought Bailey was one of the best players on the ice tonight ... winning faceoffs consistently and he was all over the ice. Seemed like coach was double shifting him.
