When hockey players complain about a lack of ice, they're probably not talking about climate change. Chittenden County skaters, in particular, have long lamented the dearth of indoor rinks. The area has just five full ice sheets (and one half, the Studio Ice at the Gordon H. Paquette Ice Arena at Burlington's Leddy Park) in four arenas for scores of youth, scholastic, club, collegiate and adult recreational — aka "beer league" — teams. And that doesn't factor in figure skaters. Shelburne-born Peter Lenes, 38, was just a squirt — hockey talk for 9- to 10-year-olds — when the newest local rink, C. Douglas Cairns Arena, opened its first sheet in South Burlington in 1995. (Its second opened in 2001.) But he made the most of his ice time and launched a playing career that would include four stellar years with the University of Vermont Catamounts (2005 to 2009) and stints in the U.S. Hockey League, the East Coast Hockey League, since renamed ECHL, and the American Hockey League, as well as with pro teams in Denmark and Austria. Lenes, now a Williston resident, was a fan favorite on the UVM ice. He earned more fans in 2019, when he and former UVM teammate Torrey Mitchell (2004 to 2007) turned a nondescript Essex Junction retail space owned by his father, Climb High founder and Vermont Sports Hall of Fame inductee Helmut Lenes, into Elev802. Their first hockey training facility features a 56-by-36-foot indoor refrigerated rink and 1,200-square-foot gym. The Elev802 enterprise, which specializes in individualized training, will go bigger early next year when Peter Lenes opens a second Elev802 location on the site of the recently closed Palace 9 Cinemas in South Burlington, this one with a 100-by-60-foot sheet. "We kind of went into it blind, not knowing if the one-on-one service for hockey lessons was going to be something," Lenes said. At the time, the concept was not entirely new locally. In 2016, former Saint Michael's College hockey team captain and current women's head coach Meghan Sweezey launched Girls 4 Hockey, which continues to rent rinks for its robust offering of private lessons, clinics and camps. Lenes and National Hockey League vet Mitchell were in a position to capitalize on the trend of private lessons, with their pro hockey name recognition, buzz-generating pop-up clinics at area rinks and a social media presence that played up the fun of learning…
