Thank you, Play It Again Sports!

THANK YOU, PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS!

Your Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers organization extends our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to our friends at Play It Again Sports on Snelling Avenue in Saint Paul for their incredible generosity and ongoing partnership.

Through a recent and very generous donation of skates, Play It Again Sports has significantly strengthened the skate inventory at Groveland. Providing skates is central to making outdoor winter skating truly accessible to everyone, and this donation directly helps remove barriers for neighbors who may not own skates or be able to afford them. Because of this support, even more skaters can experience the joy, health, and sense of community that comes from being out on the ice.

Owners Alex and Max Selim, who both grew up skating at Groveland, have led Play It Again Sports – Saint Paul with heart and purpose for the past eleven years. Their deep personal connection to the rink and genuine commitment to giving back shine through in their continued support.

We are profoundly grateful to Alex, Max, and the entire Play It Again Sports team for being such thoughtful and generous partners. Together, we are helping ensure that skating remains welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all who wish to enjoy our neighborhood ice.

Community support like this makes a real difference. We encourage our neighbors to support the local businesses and volunteers who help keep Groveland thriving, and, if you’re able, to find your own ways to give back. Every act of generosity helps keep our rink, and our community, strong.

Thank you, Play It Again Sports, for making such a meaningful difference in our community.
