This is my home rink, a place I’ve spent most of my life in, and over the last 9 years, I’ve witnessed it’s downfall. The problem we have? The contracted operators of the facility, Rodney and Brandon Steven. They have neglected and given us false promises on upgrades to the rink facilities. The scoreboards are barely functioning, the Zambonis are basically on life support, and all the benches and seats need to be replaced. Yet, the only thing the Steven brothers are focused on at the rink is their Genesis Health Club location in the upper level. The level of upkeep between the two is appalling. While the facilities upstairs look clean and new, the facilities downstairs look abhorrent in comparison. We can’t get new gear in our pro shop because the Steven brothers won’t pay vendors for it. There’s trash stored in random rooms because the two can’t pay the trash bill. We’ve had three general managers in a year because of these two. Luckily, the contract runs out next year, and the city is looking to possibly renew it for five years. What we are doing though, is taking it back from the felons (Brandon has plead guilty to an illegal gambling case). What can you, the amazing people of this forum can do, is sign this petition. We want the game of hockey to grow in town and produce players from Wichita and the surrounding areas, and getting Rodney and Brandon away from the rink is the only way to get that. Thank you for the support.

Edit: TL,DR: We’re taking my local rink back to restore its glory.
