Maryland Heights terminates agreement with Blues-affiliated nonprofit, gains more oversight over Centene Ice Center
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – The city of Maryland Heights voted Thursday to assume oversight of the troubled Centene Community Ice Center.
On Thursday the city council voted to terminate the development agreement between the city and St. Louis Legacy Ice Foundation. The Blues-affiliated nonprofit managed the ice center.
The city is taking over the facility after months of financial difficulties.
“The Legacy Ice Foundation played a major role in the construction, opening, and initial management of the Ice Center,” a spokesperson for the city said. “Moving forward, Legacy Ice will direct their focus towards their mission of expanding access and interest in hockey across the St. Louis Region. They will continue their partnership with the St. Louis Blues, bringing major hockey events to Maryland Heights and ice rinks across the region.”
The city said all current use of the ice center will be unaffected by the change.
