The Skating Club of Boston, established in 1912, is the oldest established figure skating club in the United States. Their facility in Boston had exceeded the capacity of their membership and In 2015, while pursuing expansion of their aging facility, Firland Management was approached to provide our expertise to assist in the concept of building a new facility capable of increasing the growth of the club.

At that time Firland assisted the Club with an extensive analysis of the Feasibility Study and Business Plan as well as defining possible suitable locations. Moving forward, Firland is now working as Construction Consultants on the build of a 3 sheet, world class facility that will be a nation wide hub for figure skating.

Situated on a beautiful 252 acre suburban college campus, just 12 miles from New York City, The Montclair State Arena, recently acquired by the University, has been a pillar in the community for over 20 years. Hosting over half a million guests annually, the facility boasts two full NHL sized arenas, a performance training and rehab center, a full service pro shop and local café. 

The Arena is home to the MSU Men’s & Women’s Ice Hockey Teams, the NWHL’s Metropolitan Riveters, as well as the training home to many Olympic & National Level Figure Skating Participants and Medalists. The Montclair Blues Recreational and Travel Youth Hockey Organization is home to over 450 families for both boys and girls hockey from 8 and Under to U19 players, and calls the Montclair State Arena home, along with many local high school hockey teams, including Seton Hall Prep. 

Many student run activities take place at the arena, along with long-standing community based programs and instruction. Students are involved at the arena, not just as skaters and hockey players,  but also as coaches, competitors, staff and guests.

Prior to the University taking over the arena, Firland was commissioned to consult on the purchase and valuation. This later developed into our current role handling full day to day management of the facility when the University acquired the arena.

Sportone Parkview Ice House is a 3 sheet facility owned and operated by Firland Management. It is home to one of the largest Men’s Leagues in the midwest as well as Indiana Tech Hockey and the Fort Wayne Spacemen of the USPHL, 6 high school hockey clubs, an elite and developmental level figure skating program, many youth hockey tournaments and figure skating events.
