LA Kings Valley Ice Center

“This rink is definitely not the closest to my house, but it’s worth every minute in the car to get there. The staff there and the coaches who teach their, the in-house hockey program, and the club hockey, California Heat, are top tier. I came here originally for my son’s private skating instructor, and stayed for the family atmosphere and excellence in their hockey program and also the day-to-day staff. When you spend this much time anywhere, you want to feel at home and know that your kid is safe and has the best possible experience when playing a sport that does financially cost more than others. This rink checks all the boxes. It might not be the fanciest but there is a reason so many families drive from far to come here. Thanks Ice Valley!!!!”

“Parking is bad, arena is pretty small and low roof. Snack bar is open and new pro shop”

“If you visit for a public skate session, I would strongly recommend bringing your own skates if you can. My first pair were so dull. I traded them in and asked for a pair that was sharpened. This next pair was sharper, but the rivets had come out which meant the boot was falling off of the skate, something I had to figure out as soon as I stepped on the ice. The third pair I tried, which I resolved to use, had one sharpened skate and one dull skate. That seemed like the best I was going to get. This was, of course, an incredible waste of time. This place does not take care of their rental skates and I would not recommend them.”

“If you don't want your child to progress, this is the perfect place. She was in classes for six weeks, and to my surprise, when I arrived at her class, they told me I had to re-enroll her in the same Gamma/Delta level. I asked, "When was she evaluated? Where are the grades showing where she's struggling? Where are the grades indicating what she needs to improve?" No one spoke to me! My daughter started classes again that same Saturday because I had already paid $123, and to my shock, all the same girls were in the same class! I spoke with the supposed owner to withdraw my daughter, and she said there were no refunds. I lost my $123 in this awful place. I went to enroll my daughter at the one in Valencia, and it's perfect. The first thing I asked was if they had any connection with the one in Panorama City, and they said no. At the one in Valencia, they gave my daughter an ID, assessed her skill level, and the teacher has an assistant who helps her manage the group of girls. They also conduct another evaluation before the end of her training period to prepare her for her final assessment. Don't waste your money at Valley Ice Center in Panorama City.”
