MECHANICSVILLE, Va., June 7, 2025 — Rink Management Services will continue its independent operations in the ice rink sector after the recent sale of 13 facility management contracts to Sports Facilities Companies (SFC). The company will concentrate on its seven leased properties, the creation and oversight of a Holiday Village concept featuring ice skating, and support for expansion efforts.

Tom Hillgrove, President of Rink Management Services, stated, “We are enthusiastic about the opportunities in this market and contributing to the advancement of hockey and ice sports. Furthermore, our company will manage three of the ten busiest seasonal ice rinks in the United States.”

“I am currently collaborating with a group to establish an ice rink at my alma mater, the University of Virginia,” Hillgrove commented. “The process is comprehensive and detailed, but the group has made considerable progress, and an ice rink connected to the University will offer significant recreational advantages to the local community and students.”
