Is there any chance of us getting a lower level skate at St Thomas again. I work till 9:00 pm and that was one of the late skates that I could do. Hopefully I am not the only one who wants it back.

Have you tried one of the all level skates out there? The 1 or 2 times I went out there they still let me have a chance at being part of the game even tho I'm a lower level skater

Yeah, I do play it a lot. Just think the lower level skate was fun and always filled up. I can't seem to make it to any lower level skates lately.

Hi Lenard, I happened to see this forum post so I can give you a response.
In the future, if you DEFINITELY want a response from JMS, you will ALWAYS get one by sending an e-mail to support.
We'd like to catch all the forum queries, but the reality is that we can't constantly monitor them.
But, five people get an alert for every message sent to support.
You will definitely get a reply with that avenue.
As for your question:
I book the ice and I didn't remember the last time we had a LL game at STIA.
Checked the files and it looks like it was summer 2014.
I believe that game moved to another location, possibly Fridays at Rosemount (9.4 miles away).
We also have LL games on Thursdays at Bielenburg in Woodbury (11.7 miles away) and Woog, formerly Wakota, on Monday nights (6.4 miles away).
I think part of the issue here is the summer icetimes.
The arenas don't want to keep the building open late with hours of dead ice before we play, so with less demand in the summer, our ice shifts earlier.
Believe me, things will change back in the fall (and then we'll hear from the people asking why JMS always books such late start times ;-)
