With the ice being in the arena only about 5 months of the year, this sounds like quite a posh job for a non-citizen (H-2B Visa)! There has got to be a local in the area capable of giving this club what they need without paying for a work visa on top of $25,290! I'm no skating expert but the job requirements seem to be pretty high and after seeing the last ice show, I doubt anyone performs at anything close to these levels in this club. How can a club of approximatley 100 kids afford this? I bet you see them at your door soon with fundraising items!!! Knock, knock, wanna buy a holiday wreath to pay for my coaches visa?
