Summary
Bowie’s council scrapped the planned ice arena, so there won’t be a new local rink for hockey, figure skating, or recreational skating. If you were counting on closer, more available ice time, that plan is now off the table.

Impact analysis
The city sidesteps the arena’s construction and operating costs, but local skaters may end up paying more in travel and fees at other rinks.
Taxpayers and residents who worried about the project’s public cost or local disruption come out ahead.
Hockey players, figure skaters, youth sports families, and casual skaters who wanted closer, more available ice time lose out.
