The nonprofit group claims it âlessens the burdens of governmentâ by improving the health of hockey players and ice skaters. But the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed a decision in favor of Genoa Township.
The hockey association likened itself to Chelsea Health and Wellness Foundation, which operates the Dexter Wellness Center in Dexter and won a tax case in 2017.
