Rec Dept. Hires 'Skateguards’ to Monitor Ice Rink

Uuu 513 Ab Headshot

The ice rink at Canton Recreational Pavilion in Watertown, N.Y., has gotten so popular that the recreation department has had to hire “skateguard” supervisors to keep order during open skate hours.

Recreation director John S. Taillon attributes the increased use to the department’s decision to purchase rental skates a few years ago. As the ice gets more crowded, concerns for safety and the need to enforce rules has increased, as well. “It is extremely busy, especially on the ice,” Taillon said. “We feel we want to keep a safe and fun atmosphere for people that come here.”
