Black Bear Sports Group Mission Statement –
Black Bear Sports Group, Inc. was founded to purchase undermanaged and underperforming ice rinks to bring professional management and badly needed capital to 20-30 year old rinks to save the facilities and provide a safe and fun environment for the local community. We have subsequently expanded into junior hockey ownership to provide our facility participants a pathway to college hockey.
