Another roller hockey rink in CA to shut it's doors?

Interesting article....I had no idea the current owners were looking to get out. If it has to go, I would love for it to be turned into an Ice facility but if the city owns the property, I highly doubt that will happen.

Interesting.

I'm sad to see the roller rinks being shut down.

Looks like the only inline rinks in SoCal that will be left will be the ones Disney owns (Huntington Beach and Corona). Crazy....

that's ridiculous. the third rink sucks but rinks 1 and 2 are awesome... i have played dozens of tournaments there. good rink.

The back is rink isn't too bad...it used to be smaller but they fixed that years ago.

I was sad to find out Glacial Gardens' roller rink was changed over to ice.

That place was so close to my house... :(

The article doesn't say they (949) want out.

The fact that the Subleasehold interest was listed for sale indicates that the current owners wanted out.

Damn commercial realtor professional making me look bad. :)

Now that you explained it all to me in private, I get it.

I'm a Commercial Real Estate Professional. I am not a Realtor®. Only members of the National Association of Realtors can use that name. :P

In case anyone was curious, this guy hasn't a leg to stand on.

According to the article, the (Sub)lease contained a provision that gave the City first right of refusal. Mau claims that the city "kept him in the dark" about said language. However, if he was buying the Subleasehold rights from 949, he would have been provided a copy of the Sublease for review. If he, or his attorneys, didn't review the documents, that's his own fault, not the City's. If he wasn't given a copy of the Sublease for review, then he never should have gotten past the contingency period. It's called doing your due diligence. If one of my clients was buying a Sublease, I would make sure I knew every provision of that Sublease before proceeding.

I guess we'll all have to take up that colder version of hockey.

Sorry about the Disney error - I meant Ducks :)

And Justin, thanks for clearing it up and explaining it to us!

The facility sucks.. hopefully the city or the Ducks take it over and clean the place up.

The rinks themselves are nice, but yeah....that's about it. The locker rooms are in terrible shape and it looks like the entire place hasn't been cleaned or maintained in years. I remember how nice it was when it first opened - it's really unfortunate.
