Trenton hockey coach Mike Turner said Downriver visually impaired students and high school students began skating together more than 40 years ago.
Trenton High School hockey players and Interact Club members spent Tuesday morning helping visually impaired students experience the exhilaration of skating at the Kennedy Recreation Center. Whether they were seated, standing or listening in from the sidelines visually impaired students from elementary, middle and high schools across Downriver felt the brisk air against their faces and cold, wet ice against their legs. Some of the more talented skaters, such as Trenton senior Andrew Lindsay, seemed to skate faster pushing a chair than by himself. Seated in the blisteringly-fast chair in front of Lindsay was fifth-grader Matthew, who said he was certain he was traveling at least 75 mph and would have been happier zipping across the ice at …

Ice rinks at the Kennedy Recreation Center in Trenton were melted Friday morning forcing staff to cancel a women's Tier 1 AAA Elite Hockey Tournament.
When Tim Beaker, operations manager at Kennedy Recreation Center, got to work Friday morning things were not cool. Things were not cool at all. A cooling tower located on the roof malfunctioned over night, which caused most of the ice on at least two rinks to melt. The lack of ice forced Beaker to send a women's hockey tournament to the Ice Box in Brownstown Township. Teams from the Tier 1 AAA Elite Hockey League from cities as far away as Chicago, IL, Milwaukee, WI, Pittsburgh, PA and St. Louis, MO left Kennedy without so much as a single puck drop. The loss of business is expected to set the City of Trenton back about $1,000 in ice rentals and potential concession stand revenue, according to Beaker. Beaker said the problem is fixed and …
