The home rink of the former FPHL's Delaware Thunder is closing up In May

The rink does host youth hockey in Southern Delaware and it's the only rink in the southern two-thirds of the state. The owners (the Delaware State Fair) will turn it into storage and also (I'd think) space to host indoor ag or ag-related events in the winter. The state's ag convention is held there in January and I think a few other groups rent the rink out for non-skating community events.

Any crazy idea of rebooting a FPHL team (or even beer hockey team) in Harrington is pretty much toast at this point.

In my continuing estimation, that toaster caught fire & melted long ago.

Seems SOMEBODY is serious about a Dover Civic Arena & a return of the Delaware Thunder. At least serious enough to establish social media presence ...

Charlie tried to get a large grant from the state last Fall for the arena and whiffed on his first attempt.

The only way that hockey rink (that's basically what the "arena" will amount to) project could move forward in Dover is without Charlie's involvement, IMO.
