"We started the Yellowstone Ice Foundation to give kids in Yellowstone County and the region the chance to love hockey like I did growing up. As a parent, I know how important the sport can be, but outdated rinks can be uninviting. That’s why we’re building a modern facility to make ice sports more fun and accessible for everyone." - Parker Phipps, YIF Board Chair
