Coaching for 2012/2013
 
The 2011 / 2012 hasn't quite wrapped up. In fact we have 5 teams that are involved in post season play.However evaluations for the 2012 / 2013 season are less than two months away and we have a lot of work to do to get ready for next season. Part of the process is to fill the coaching positions for next season.
 
Anyone interested in coaching at the Ducks is invited to submit and application to Burt Palmer at mailto:Burton.M.Palmer-1@USA.dupont.com
 
 
   

Congrats to Squirt B!!

Today Show Article Concerning Air Quality in Hockey Rinks

ZamboniXing

As many of you may have seen, the Today Show did an article questioning the air quality in hockey rinks suggesting that it is making our children sick. While all of us are concerned about the safety of our kids and our fans as well as all who experience hockey at our home facility, we would like to pass along the policy that the Pond has concerning this issue. Below is a quote from Scott Bicking, the Pond's owner:

"We here at The Pond have very strict indoor air quality standards, and actually test the air quality in the lobby, and both rink surfaces 3 times a day. We then record our readings in a log book that Cindy has in her office, in which we report to the City, State, and Federal EPA every year. Both of our Zam’s have been retrofitted to Propane which burns cleaner, and were also equipped with catalytic converters to reduce the emissions even further. Both rinks are equipped with sensors that engage Industrial size fans to ventilate both arenas in case of high CO2 or Ammonia levels. We recently took delivery of a new Olympia edger that meets or exceeds the EPA’s guidelines for Exhaust emissions. Rest assured, you and your children’s safety and health are out #1 concern here at The Pond, and we are in full compliance with all Local, State and Federal guidelines in regards to Indoor Air Quality. This is even more of a reason to come here more often to play hockey, figure skate, public skate, enroll in our camps and clinics, and shop at the Best Pro Shop in the USA; here at The Pond Ice Arena!!!! Thanks, Scott Bicking"
