Rink Cameras <br /> Arena Manager Czech states Cable TV has been looking at stationary cameras for <br /> coaches and Huddlesports for a year.The system would use 11 cameras,and would <br /> do much of the work automatically.At this point,there is a prototype on the East <br /> Coast,but it isn't in any rinks yet, so they didn't have answers to many of staff's <br /> questions. <br /> The system allows a coach to "buy"a game,or for$2300/month there is unlimited <br /> access. Czech believes between the booster club and the youth hockey association, <br /> that fee could be covered so that it could be used anytime.At this point,nothing has <br /> been decided,but Czech would like to see it in place before the hockey season if it <br /> happens. <br /> I I.

It will be the second and fourth Sundays of each month between October and <br /> March before our regular Open Skating sessions.
