Icebox’s managing director Richard Elmer said there had been “an overwhelming degree of support” for the rink’s return and continued “We have received letters and emails from local residents, business, colleges and universities. We really need the local Cambridge public to come out and support the event. We cannot wait to put this event on – it’s so exciting.”
