1 / 3Apex Center Ice Arena
📍 Northwest Arvada, CO
Apex Center Ice Arena features two full NHL-sized ice surfaces, public skating sessions, a figure skating program from recreational to competitive levels, and hockey leagues. Ages 2–5 skate at a reduced rate. Skate rentals available on-site.
Great place to play hockey and skate! The staff are great, but a couple of them in particular are great! One person that really stands out is the guy who drives the Zam Brady C. Let me tell you, I have never seen a better employee in all of my days. He has heard the complaints about the locker rooms and the other day when I showed up to my men’s league game, I caught him chiseling away at the wall to make more space!! So far I can tell there is a difference, much more roomy. He always goes above and beyond. He also is a great teammate. One time I watched him take the puck from one end of the ice and skate through tons of people just to pass it to the much worse skater #92 to score. He easily could have scored, but he’s not in it for the glory. At first I didn’t know who it was, but it quickly dawned on me, who else but Brady? Though he may be the shorter of the Bradys who work at the Apex Ice Arena, I believe he embodies what the Apex Ice staff is all about!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids ages 2 and up who want a structured skating environment beyond a seasonal pop-up rink. The dual-rink setup means public skate sessions rarely feel crowded. Families with hockey-playing kids can watch league games from the stands. Figure skating learners of any age can access private coaching.
