Mr. Burbank remembers the name


of every person who cast a vote against him. At that point, they were only betting against his mindset that a rink could operate profitably if managed properly, as the money was already committed.


Burbank Ice Rink Opens


In November 1994, the Burbank Ice Arena opened with a two-night ribbon cutting ceremony featuring town officials, Mite Youth Hockey players, skaters from the North Shore Skating Club and his hand- picked manager — me!


“No long-term contracts, Ed, we’ll


operate 30 days at a time,” he said. “If you don’t like me, we part amicably; if I don’t like you, we may part not so amicably.” Tat’s how I remember being offered the job, and 24 years later the month-to- month deal is still in effect.


Te Burbank Ice Arena joined ISI


after the note was paid, in 2002, and Mr. Burbank got his collateral back (his gift of about $2 million was just that, a gift).


Numerous notable events have taken


place in the arena during its history, including Reading capturing the Division 1A Championship, the first pubic high school team to do so in 30 years; Bobby Orr filming a commercial; Nancy Kerrigan practicing for her Halloween special; and the creation of the Reading Special Skates program for developmentally delayed individuals.


Mr. Burbank’s philanthropy did not


stop with the construction of the arena. He went on to rebuild the Reading YMCA, provide the Mattera Conservation Area for the Town of Reading and paid for the restoration of one of his childhood outdoor skating areas at Memorial Park.


He took great satisfaction when one


individual who had opposed the arena on all fronts approached him, and said: “Nelson, I just had to take my grandchild to the next town over for practice because there is not enough time at Burbank Ice Arena. Would you build us another rink?”
