No ice during COVID-19 closure
GOLETA, Calif. The Ice in Paradise is on thin ice. The arena, like many other businesses, have been hit hard during the pandemic.
At the start of 2020 the rink, like many others were optimistic. The Ice in Paradise started the year with a senior hockey tournament.
Rick Lohnes played for the Santa Barbara Old Hacks. He said about the senior hockey tournament, “I’m 84 and having the time of my life.”
Next was Try Hockey For Free Day for the youngsters. One four-year-old said while his dad laced up his skates, “I’m going to be a hockey player.”
