Dear UVA Ice Sports Alumni and Friends,
For those who are not familiar with us, we are a group of alumni working to tell the history of ice sports at UVA (including men’s and women’s ice hockey and figure skating), unite ice sports alumni, and to build an ice sports complex near the Charlottesville airport for use by UVA students, administrators, and Central Virginia community members.
For those who are familiar with us, welcome back! Along with sharing our journey in website posts, we’re now committed to sending regular email updates about the North Fork Ice Arena project and our other endeavors.
Later in this email, we’ll provide the latest updates to the North Fork Ice Arena Project. To read about past developments, visit our Events & News page on the Virginia Ice Sports website.
As we are a developing Alumni Interest Group (AIG) working with the UVA Alumni Association, we are still getting out the word about our work. Please share this webpage with any UVA hockey or figure skating alumni in your circles—or with anyone who would have an interest in what we do! Additionally, please widely distribute our listserv signup form to make sure your friends are staying up to date on this exciting project.
One of the many joys of this journey has been meeting and hearing from ice sports alumni from across generations. We’d love to hear from you: please share any comments or questions (or even just an introduction) with us at virginiaicesports@virginia.edu.
Sincerely,
Dan Smythe (Col class of ’79, Darden class of ’84), President, Virginia Ice Sports
Roger Voisinet, Co-President, Virginia Ice Sports
