Gee, and to think, one year ago they automatically renewed SMG's contract for another 5 years to manage the Sully, Boeke and Dempsey...no public comments, just an automatic 5 year renewal. How did things changes so fast? Hasn't the AAC been operating for a few years now? All of these arenas (Sully, Boeke, and Dempsey have been missmanaged. Boeke and Dempsey are so under utilized because of mismanagement, it's laughable. The conflict of interest between the local SMG management and the only privately owned ice arena in Anchorage needs to be reviewed by the City Ombudsman. They jacked the price of ice time up to send business to the one private arena, who can make side deals and lower the hourly rental prices as needed. Can someone tell me why the largest city in Alaska has the most expensive hourly ice in the State? I'd love to see the financials for the Wells Fargo Center, where they charge a fair and consistent price for their ice time. #taketheprofitoutofyouthhockey #byebyesmg
