Worcester Railers Hockey Club Owner Cliff Rucker has partnered with Worcester restaurant firm Niche Hospitality Group to put a Railers-themed tavern next to the DCU Center and a restaurant and cafe in the Canal District, where Rucker is building a hockey facility for area teams to practice and host their games.
What impact will the Railers have on the Worcester business community?
Little to none. The Sharks and IceCats couldn't make it work and this seems no different.
Mild. People will come to downtown for games and shop and dine while in the city.
Moderate. The Railers are a significant part of the downtown renaissance.
Great. The team and the new rink will turn Worcester into a hockey hub.
