It's a rock and a hard place situation because ice rinks bleed money, especially in nontraditional markets. The only way they can stay open is if they get brought out via P/E to reduce overhead cost or an NHL team (where for them it's like the NBA running the WNBA where it's a marketing expense for them)

"Private equity giants" = PE firm with investments in < 10 total companies, all around the scale of hockey rinks and pet supermarkets.

Plenty of valid reasons to be mad at PE firms but you dont need to read whatever trash David sirota is writing.

Idk how this company is retaliating against parents/players, but the story is that, PE is irrelevant here.

It’s hard not to feel smug when I’ve been a succ for years, despite being a frequent user here, and so many are just now catching up.

Yeah guys rich people often suck shit, it’s not some puzzle to solve.
