instructors teaching the art of skating. Curriculum set-up

skating shows and or games and tournaments. Also responsible

registration. Maintain high class averages, and school records.
Summer ice for the avid ice sport competitor, run summer skills
camps for each ice sport interest. Many athletes now train

Initially the facility will be able to host
any existing after school programs, the following are a few
programs the foundation intends to implement.
- Learning and mentoring apprenticeships for students
- Study /Tutoring area
- Reading / tutoring (maybe with free skating after so many
books read.)
- Run an entrepreneurs program and teach children how to
run the different operations of the facility.
- There are many things we can do outside the building too.
Like learning gardening, hiking programs, we could even
build a ropes course or what some call a challenge course.
This teaches kids how to become leaders. Some call it a
leadership course.
- Peer mentor training to keep kids away from drugs and
make better choices.
- One Olympic rink, one NHL rink
- Tessa’s grille- serving snacks, sandwiches, soups,
chili, fruit, yogurt, etc. very health oriented menu
- Banquet Facility seating capacity 500 with caterers’
kitchen (still under consideration)
- Pro shop
- Skate sharpening and repair
- Equipment cleaning
- Arcade area
- Quinn’s hall of fameStudy Sanctuary
- Will stimulate local economy through hosting special events,
figure skating shows, hockey tournaments, antique shows,
etc.
- Will be an amenity for the county. Could help attract
potential employees/residents
- Will be a safe and fun place to go for children and families.
- Will give the county a cutting edge year round multi-purpose
facility, Olympic and NHL size rinks for ice sports, indoor

- Will give the county a cutting edge year round multi-purpose
facility, Olympic and NHL size rinks for ice sports, indoor
soccer and lacrosse, a 3000 seat arena for arts, recreation
and entertainment, plus a 500 seat banquet hall. The possibilities
of usage are endless. Each component of the facility, the
two rinks and the banquet hall, can operate independently,
as they have their own entrances.
- We are now linked directly to the Center for Reading and
Language Research at Tufts University. They have graciously
dedicated a conference room to Quinn as a tribute. We will
use that connection to provide informational links to families
with children coping with learning disabilities. We also
plan to offer space for tutoring programs to area children.
- Any monies above operating expenses will be used to develop
scholarships and or subsidize programming for ice sports,
provide grants for local tutoring services for children
with learning difficulties
The QCMSFBC has a very large potential market.
We will be targeting the population with in a fifty mile radius
from our location to increase our customer base. We
feel we will become a well respected sports facility
very quickly. This will be accomplished by radio and media
advertisements as well as hosting and supporting community
events. Much information will be shared via our web site on
the net.
The QCMSFBC 's competitive edge is two fold. The facility
is the only multi sport, multi use complex that offers Olympic
and NHL size rinks that are available for sports competition,
entertainment, and community events. The potential scope and
variation of the programs run from this facility , and special
events will be unmatched by any other facility in the area.
The second edge is the location, size, and new appeal. We
will maintain our focus in our strategy, marketing, program
development, and fulfillment, to keep all aspects of operation
current and cutting-edge.
Revenue will ultimately be based on: selling programs (i.e.
learn to skate, youth hockey figure skating etc.) the
quality programming being offered and the amenities of the
facility. We need to approach and address the needs of target
groups that have not been ice users prior to our rink.( i.e.
summer camps, summer child care programs, health and fitness
facilities, resorts, retirement communities)
Stress the usefulness of our amenities: fitness area, party
rooms, study sanctuary, large banquet/ meeting area.
The dual rink one Olympic one NHL , convenient location
of the facility and the fact that it is a new resource for
sports and entertainment will attract people to experience
what we are about. Stressing the multi-purpose use of the
center will be a key promotional concept. Our early main focus
is to gain as much exposure as possible to get people in the
facility and see what we have to offer.
This project will already be deep rooted in the community.
To keep the peoples interest, we will keep them informed of
the completed construction phases through the entire
project. We can also extend that to the out-lying areas as
well.( Albany Springfield and S. Vermont) This can be accomplished
through our web site local news papers .
Having Lea Ann Miller, a former Olympic Figure Skater on board
will also help us in promoting the facility. Her name recognition
in the figure skating world will be a very valuable marketing
tool. With her programming guidance and name recognition,
we feel our ability to attract new users will be much easier.
When a sport personality is associated with a facility more
interest is generated.
We will offer public tours to the high schools, spas camps,
and child care facilities. We will publicize a large promotional
event to open the facility, offer a free recreational skate
period. Host various community events that will bring in people
who otherwise would not use the rink, i.e. home shows, antique
and juried craft shows are some examples.
Host a Berkshire County day, offering free admission to skate.
We will also offer subsidized usage to under privileged groups.
Following the opening of The QCMSFBC, print and radio media
will be created to promote both the facility and programs
that are offered to attract more county participation , and
to attract the out-lying areas.
