I can't say enough good things about the figure skating program at South Suburban! Gerry Lane and Bill Dobs are wonderful! Jeff and Liam rink managers and their crews at South Suburban rink and Family Sports are top notch!

We are so excited to see the rink opening next week back to all skaters on private and public ice times! Here is to a fun and safe...

MOST IMPRESSIVE was the immediate attention he received from the South Suburban employees! They were all over the accident within seconds. Their obvious concern was so comforting and their professional demeanor provided a sense of security and allowed me to be calm and to keep the granddaughters calm as well. I did not get their names but they were AWESOME! Thank you so much for your...
