In Loving Memory of Charlie Daly

Charlie was a kind-hearted and caring person who was always willing to lend a hand and help anyone who needed it. He was truly the best skate sharpener around and took great pride in his work.

Our staff has created a small memorial on the Pro Shop window in Charlie’s honor. If you’d like to stop by, take a moment to see it, and share a memory of Charlie, please feel free to do so.

He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. ❤️🏒

We are sadden to announce the passing of our Pro Shop Manager, Charlie W. Daly II. He brought more than 33 years of experience, passion, and dedication to the skating community. He was known for his kind heart, wealth of knowledge, and genuine love for the sport. Charlie was a true gentleman; a friend to all, and a beloved member of the rink family. His kindness, friendship, and presence will be deeply missed.

Share Memories and Support the Family.
