An indoor ice rink sponsored by the family of the late co-founder of Stamford-based Conair Corp. is one step closer to completion. The demolition of the building makes way for the creation of an indoor ice rink facility at 50 Barry Place, which will sit behind the now-torn down Conair Corp. building. The facility will host youth ice hockey and figure skating clinics, educational programs, leagues and tournaments. The project was sponsored by the family of late billionaire businessman Leandro Rizzuto, whose family founded Conair Corp. in 1959. Manhattan-based American Securities, a private equity firm, acquired Conair Corp. in 2021, but the 11.7 acres of property on Barry Place — which borders the Metro-North Railroad to the south — remained with the Rizzuto family, according to previous reporting from February 2023.
