Spread pain of higher ice rental rates

5 Feb 2010 Ottawa Citizen – Letter by Rob Millican, Ottawa to the Ottawa Citizen

Spread pain of higher ice rental rates

The city budget approves increase of rental rates for adults who already pay the highest ice rates while restricting their play until 10 p. m. The hourly rate has steadily been jacked without a whimper from adult hockey players. At the same time minor hockey rates do not go up and are less than half the adult rates. Nobody argues with increased rates, but the pain should be spread equally. Any talk of minor rate increases brings a flood of protest — but nothing from the adults.
