New owners said that it would remain the same until the end of March.

Plus, it only "seats" several hundred.

If they did build an ice specific arena, then they would be able to rent ice time out to JMU & VMI's teams for practices and games. But, it really is hard to share an arena with other sports "in season". Covering and uncovering the ice is a time consuming job, and the best ones in the business take about 3 hours for the changeover from sport X to hockey. And that is with a huge staff.
