"This was a wonderful employment while it lasted! This rink was constructed with a cement floor covered with epoxy. It was hard to fall on, but SMOOTH to roll. The rink was jointly owned by Mr. Yovanovich + Mr. Nappi (I think there was a third owner too). The rink was suppose to be the FIRST building in a sports complex, but the township would not grant a liquor license for the SECOND building - a bowling alley. So, the rink was sold and still stands as the New York Sports Clubs." - Lorna Day
