2011 is two years away, but Pete Carlson, the Ice Arena Operations and Programs Director at the Schwan Super Rink, has reason to be pumped up for the clock to run fast.
The National Sports Center recently learned that we have been awarded three big national/international ice-sport events that will happen in a four-month period of time. Here's a rundown of the schedule.
April 1-3
2011 USA Hockey Disabled Hockey National Festival - 60+ teams
Programs will be divided into four disciplines - standing/amputee, deaf/heard of hearing, sled, and special hockey.
April 6-10
2011 USA Hockey Girls and Women National Championship - 60+ teams
The NSC hosted this event in 2001. We will host the best female hockey athletes from around the country.
July 24-31
2011 ISI World Figure Skating Championships
The NSC hosted this event in 2000 and 2004. This event will bring recreational skaters and upper level skaters together in one location. This is ISI's most prestigious event and will bring more than 1,500 participants to the NSC.
Once again, the world's largest ice arena with eight sheets of ice, proves it's also the world leader in hosting big events.
