THE ORIGINS OF CHILLSKATES
About
ChillSkates traces its origins back to the visionary mind of Brenda Hann, a marketing professional with a passion for skating. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a young skater navigating plastic ice rinks at trade shows in Canada during the 1970s, Brenda recognized the potential to bring the joy of skating to the public in innovative ways. Curious about how skating products had evolved over the years, she embarked on extensive market research and meticulously crafted her promotional plans. Despite facing skepticism, Brenda fearlessly launched ChillSkates in the heart of Silicon Valley. Her dedication and creativity quickly captured the attention of industry professionals, including those at W Hotels in Los Angeles. As accolades and attention poured in, ChillSkates solidified its position as a trailblazer in the skating industry, forever changing the way people experience the thrill of gliding on ice.

Vision
From its humble beginnings as BH Skating, the company swiftly evolved into Chill Entertainment, carving out a niche as a cornerstone within the esteemed Starwood Brand. The company's meteoric rise caught the attention of Las Vegas, where it played a pivotal role in revitalizing the strip by reintroducing ice skating in 2012. This momentous occasion culminated in an unprecedented feat: hosting an ice skating rink atop the iconic Caesars fountains, captivating audiences with its grandeur and spectacle. Building upon this success, Chill Entertainment expanded its production repertoire to include real ice rinks, further solidifying its reputation as a premier provider of all things skating-related. In a landmark move, the company spearheaded the roller skating trend with the wildly popular ThunderGround Pride event in LA, marking 2012 as a transformative year. This pivotal moment cemented Chill Entertainment's status as a nationwide, full-service supplier, poised to redefine the landscape of skating entertainment for years to come.
