TEMPE — Hundreds of people gathered at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe Sunday to bid it farewell. 'I'm slightly blown away by how many people have showed up today,' said rink General Manager Adam Mims. 'I'm really happy about it.' The business will be closing after its owners sold the rink and neighboring Big Surf Wave Park to a California developer for $49.97 million. Big Surf Wave Park was demolished last year. Oceanside will be next. 'It was time to go. Nothing we could do about it,' Mims said.
