New Sign Installed at Weibel Ice Rink

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The City of Saratoga Springs celebrated the installation of a new digital LED sign at the Saratoga Springs Ice Rinks and Bike Park with a small ceremony on Wednesday afternoon.

“This vibrant new communication tool will serve as a central hub for sharing community updates, upcoming events, and important announcements with residents and visitors,” said John Hirliman, the Saratoga Springs Recreation Department’s administrative director, in a statement.

“This new sign is more than just an upgrade — it’s a symbol of our proud history and a beacon for the future,” said Rick Cobello, a former Saratoga Springs ice hockey coach who helped raise funds for the sign. “We’re honoring everyone who’s worn the jersey over the past five decades — the players, coaches, parents, and supporters who built this program.”

The new sign is expected to highlight upcoming games, player achievements, special events, and community announcements.
