<br />Ice Arena Commission <br /> <br />November 1, 2005 <br /> <br />To Mayor Klinzing and Elk River City Council members; <br /> <br />Regarding: Pro Player Banner installation on front of the Elk River Ice Arena <br /> <br />The Arena Commission recommends that the City Council approves the installation of <br />three 10' x 17' banners on the front of the Elk River Ice Arena. <br /> <br />The picture on the three banners will be Dan Hinote (plays for the Colorado Avalanche), <br />Paul Martin (plays for the New Jersey Devils) and Joel Otto (played for several Pro teams <br />and now resides in Calgary). These banners are to represent Elk Rivers rich hockey <br />history. <br /> <br />The cost to print the banners is $1425. The Elk River Youth Hockey Association paid for <br />this cost. <br /> <br />The banners will be hung on the front face of the Arena. After a few years, depending on <br />how the banners weather, they will be brought inside and hung on the inside of the Ice <br />Arena. <br /> <br />The cost of hanging these banners will be approximately $500 to $700. There will be a <br />sharing of this installation cost between the Elk River Ice Arena budget, Elk River Youth <br />Hockey Association and the Elk River Blue Line. <br /> <br />We would like to give a special thanks to Kent Madsen, a former Ice Arena Commission <br />member, for organizing and following through on this endeavor. In a continuing effort to <br />promote and market the rich Elk River Hockey history, there is a group of hockey <br />enthusiast, including Kent, which will be working on getting pictures to hang in the Ice <br />Arena. These will be of players that have had success playing at the college level and <br />beyond. Our hope is this will help promote the sport of hockey and show the rich <br />tradition that Elk River has had over the past 30-40 years. <br /> <br />Sincerely, /l{;; / 4~- <br /> <br />Dale P. Martin <br />Ice Arena Commission Chair <br />
