Notes: RESOLVED 2026-10-19: dates (Nov 27 to Jan 3) agree across the Sept 8 Town Council record, Port City Daily, WECT and WWAY. Public days Wed-Sun with Mon/Tue reserved is stated by the council record, WECT and WWAY (quoting the Chamber); Port City Daily's 'Mon-Thu 3-9 PM' line contradicts its own Mon/Tue-reserved line and is not used. Daily hours (Wed-Thu 3-9, Fri-Sat noon-11, Sun 1-9, holiday hours) come from the council presentation reported by Port City Daily; WWAY's 'operations begin at 3 PM' is consistent. The Chamber's own Boardwalk on Ice page returned no readable text on 2026-10-19, so cost stays unpublished. Stanley Cup replica appearance is unconfirmed and not listed.
