News: Steelers in talks with Magna

Bob Phillips, the owner of the Steelers, who recently resigned as non-executive chairman, discussed the talks in an interview with Pro Hockey News. He said: "We have been talking very closely with Magna, with a view to putting a facility in there while we wait for the YES project to come up trumps."
In 2008, the Steelers signed up as tenants in a purpose-built 5,000-seater twin-pad ice rink at the YES! Project at Rother Valley Country Park in Rotherham and are expected to be part of the first phase of development of the £350m undercover leisure based scheme.
Matthew Beck, managing director at the Magna Trust, confirmed that the opportunity was being pursued but that it was still early days.
He said: "I can confirm that there is the potential to house the Steelers at Magna in an unused part of the building which is currently used as a storage facility for a local company.
"We are currently further investigating the feasibility but it would possible from a size perspective.
"Magna feels that it would be great to have the home of the Steelers in a former steelworks and that it would be a fantastic partnership for both parties."
