The Broyles family were busy operating rinks for many years.
1952-1987 - William & Doreen Broyles operated Broyles Arena, Pittsfield, MA
1952-1954 - Robert Broyles was the manager of Broyles Arena, Pittsfield, MA
• 1954-1958 - Robert Broyles operated Broyles Skateland, Salisbury, Maryland
1976-1987 - Bruce Broyles was the manager of USA Rink, Chicopee, MA
1987-1989 - Bruce Broyles leased the USA Rink, Chicopee, MA
1990-1999 - Bruce Broyles operated Skate Scene USA, Chicopee, MA









Don't know what happened, but this sale appears to not have happened
as the rink was still operating until the fire in August.


The End.
