...about the Gardens Ice House...includes info about Don Laws, Michael Weiss, claims they are still the home of Scott Smith:

To attract top ice skaters, Assistant Manager Susan Meade needed a unique approach to market the privately owned skating facility because municipal ice rinks surround it -- rinks usually reserved for ice skating novices.
Sounds like someone forgot the rink is built on park land & that some of the other municipal rinks are where "ice skating novices" like Derrick Delmore or other advanced level skaters train.

Last month, Laws began working with two-time U.S. national champion and two-time Olympic bronze-medallist Michael Weiss.

Two time Olympic Bronze medalist??

I train at the Gardens. And while I love it there, that is not the only mistake in the article, as Mazurka Girl has also pointed out.

So is Weiss no longer working w/ Audrey Weisiger? Or is his work w/ Laws just a part-time thing?
