This website is operated by Bring Ice Back to Escondido, an independent community advocacy campaign based in Escondido, California ("the Campaign," "we," "us"). This site is not operated by, affiliated with, directed by, funded by, or endorsed by the City of Escondido, The Rinks Foundation, the San Diego Gulls, the Anaheim Ducks, Henry Samueli, Susan Samueli, or any government agency. No relationship — formal or informal — exists between this Campaign and any of the above parties.
All statements on this site reflect the Campaign's independent position and interpretation of publicly available information. We are a community of Escondido residents exercising our First Amendment right to participate in local civic processes. For official information about the Escondido Ice proposal, visit yourescondido.com/IceSportsProposal.
This site references the names "The Rinks Foundation," "San Diego Gulls," "Anaheim Ducks," "Great Park Ice," and related names solely for the purpose of identifying the organizations involved in the publicly proposed Escondido Ice facility. These names are the trademarks of their respective owners. Their use on this site does not imply sponsorship, affiliation, endorsement, or any commercial relationship with this Campaign.
References to these organizations are made in the context of factual reporting on a matter of public interest — a proposed public-private partnership currently under consideration by the Escondido City Council. Such nominative fair use of third-party names for informational and commentary purposes is protected under applicable law.
If you are a representative of any of the above organizations and have a question about how your name or content is used on this site, contact us at info@escondidoice.com before taking any other action.
