Cheektowaga, N.Y. (WBEN) – Holiday Rinks in Cheektowaga is closed due to emissions issues resulting from the operation of the facility’s ice resurfacer.
The rink closing was announced via Facebook Saturday and the rinks will again be closed Sunday while the facility awaits a replacement resurfacing machine from the manufacturer.
“Due to our recently updated Olympia Ice Resurfacer again having emissions issues, and in the interest of safety, we have decided to remain closed for Sat. Feb 10 at Holiday Rinks,” the Facebook post reads. “We are waiting on Olympia to provide a replacement machine.”
The rinks were closed during the Christmas holiday due to a carbon monoxide leak that led to more than 100 people being taken to local hospitals for evaluation and treatment.
