About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The Sports Facilities Companies Expands Ice Portfolio with 13 New Ice Properties and Two Community Centers

SFC assumes management of 15 facilities in 11 states through agreement with Rink Management Services

(PRUnderground) May 22nd, 2025

The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), the nation’s leading manager of sports, recreation, and event venues, has expanded its ice rink portfolio by assuming management of 13 ice rinks across 11 states, plus two additional community centers. The facilities, previously operated by Rink Management Services (RMS), will now benefit from SFC’s expertise in operations, programming, and community engagement. Through the agreement, RMS operational leadership and staff will transition into the SFC network, enhancing its capacity to manage and elevate ice rinks nationwide.

“SFC continues to expand our presence as a leader in ice rink management, and this is an exciting step in that journey,” said Jason Clement, CEO of The Sports Facilities Companies. “RMS has built a strong footprint in the industry, and by integrating their experience with our proven approach to operations and community service, we are enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional outcomes for athletes, guests, and the communities we serve.”

Under the leadership of President Tom Hillgrove, RMS will maintain a small portfolio of leased agreements while SFC assumes management of the acquired facilities. Moving forward, the two companies will collaborate on strategic opportunities.

“We are excited to see these facilities transition to SFC, a company with a proven track record of success in community-focused facility management,” Hillgrove said. “RMS will continue to operate independently with our leased agreements while working alongside SFC to further strengthen the ice rink industry.”

SFC’s expanded portfolio of ice facilities and community centers now includes the following facilities:

  • Bryant Park Winter Village Ice Rink – New York, N.Y.
  • Lloyd Center Ice Rink – Portland, Ore.
  • Metro Park Toledo Glass City Ice & Roller – Toledo, Ohio
  • Wichita Ice Center – Wichita, Kan.
  • Parks Mall at Arlington – Arlington, Texas
  • Ice Skate USA Memorial City – Houston, Texas
  • Ice in Paradise – Goleta, Calif.
  • Breslow Ice Hockey Center – Lincoln, Neb.
  • Waconia Ice Arena – Waconia, Minn.
  • Industry City Ice Rink – New York, N.Y.
  • Elevance Health Rink at Bicentennial Plaza – Indianapolis, Ind.
  • Washington Harbour Ice Rink – Washington, D.C.
  • McCormick Tribune Ice Rink – Chicago, Ill.

As part of the deal, SFC will also take over management of multiple non-ice facilities, including the Romulus Athletic Center in Romulus, Michigan, and the Safari Island Community Center in Waconia, Minnesota.

“We are thrilled to bring these facilities into the SFC family and continue our momentum as a leader in ice rink management,” said Kelly Kryukov, senior vice president of ice venue operations at The Sports Facilities Companies. “Ice rinks serve as vital community hubs—whether it’s for youth hockey, figure skating, or public skating sessions. Our focus is on elevating these venues by enhancing programming, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring they remain accessible and welcoming spaces for all athletes and families.”

With this expansion, SFC now manages 20 ice rinks nationwide including two large multi-sport venues featuring ice surfaces and two rinks in New York City. For more information about ice rink operations at The Sports Facilities Companies, visit icerinks.com.
