Lane County Commissioners have agreed to keep the ice rink open under a public-private partnership that requires the Eugene Generals hockey team to post $40-thousand dollars by this Friday for short term repairs.
President of the Eugene Generals Hockey team, Ken Evans.
If the Generals can raise the 40-grand by Friday, they move to their next funding hurdle: $2.4-million dollars by March for major repairs.
Other users of the ice rink will contribute to that amount, including figure skating groups, youth hockey clubs, and general admission skaters.
