Cherry Hill Mayor Dave Fleisher at 11 a.m. on Sunday, May 18, will officially reopen Ravi’s Rink, a newly rebuilt, outdoor recreation hockey rink named in memory of Ravi Bloom, who was a junior at Cherry Hill High School East when he was killed in an automobile accident four years ago.
Ravi was a veteran player on the Cherry Hill East hockey team, played pick-up roller hockey and was a member of multiple sports teams.
Many of Ravi’s teammates as well as his parents, brothers and other family members will join the mayor, members of the Township Council and state and county officials for the reopening, which will include a ceremonial puck drop with Ravi’s brothers Lee and Cary Bloom. Attendees have been invited to wear Cherry Hill East jerseys or any hockey gear in memory of Ravi.
The township rebuilt the rink from the ground up. The new facility is college-regulation sized and includes covered player benches, penalty boxes, areas for scorekeepers, dasher boards and multiple access points for players and equipment.
