Iskate Inc. The San Diego Ice Arenas

Three well-established San Diego Ice skating families, the Linssens, Kovtuns and Recchias, own Iskate Inc. They have dedicated a large amount of time and financial reserves to the enhancement of the ice skating industry in the San Diego market.

Philip Linssen recently took over ownership and management duties from Mr. and Mrs. Joe Luciani who until the end of 2000 had been directly involved in the day to day management of the Mira Mesa facility. Brigit Luciani, Mr. Luciani’s wife, helps manage the facility, and is also an active judge for the ISI Skating Institute and competes actively in regional and national skating competitions. In 2000 the Luciani family sold their interest to family member, Philip Linssen and his family, and retired from Ice Rink management.

Mr. and Mrs. Jay Kovtun are active participants in San Diego Ice Dance activities, and are dedicated to creating Ice skating awareness in San Diego County.

Beginning in 1997 and every year since, San Diego Ice Arenas, in partnership with Sentre Partners Downtown, constructs and operates an outdoor Ice Rink for the benefit of Children’s Hospital.

This level of involvement by the owners demonstrates that this group is serious about running Ice Rinks with the pride and dedication that is needed to make a facility successful and a recognized complement for San Diego.

The San Diego Ice Arena at Mira Mesa has been under Iskate Inc. ownership for the past ten years, and is currently managed by Philip Linssen as General Manager. Philip has over 20 years in business management, and worked closely with Joe Luciani in sports and recreation, specializing in the ice skating industry.

The senior management team all have extensive experience in managing or coaching at San Diego Ice Arena, with over 100 years combined experience.
