Mark Messier brings de Blasio to court for ‘killing rink plan’

The New York Post reports:

Hockey legend Mark Messier crosschecked Mayor de Blasio with a lawsuit Tuesday alleging his administration conspired to kill a plan to develop the Kingsbridge Armory in The Bronx into the world’s largest ice-skating complex.

Messier and developer Ken Parker’s company KNIC accused the city’s Economic Development Corp. of breaching a contract ironed out during the final days of the Bloomberg administration in 2013 and “deliberately delay[ing]” construction of the $350 million project.

“We believe the lawsuit reveals conduct that has not only harmed our client, but also robbed the community of the many benefits of this transformational project,” said KNIC lawyer William A. Brewer III.

The 35-page suit, filed in Bronx Supreme Court, alleges that former EDC President Kyle Kimball conspired with three former KNIC business partners in 2014 in a failed bid give them control.
