1 / 2Northwell Health Ice Center
📍 East Meadow, NY
Professional two-rink facility and official NY Islanders practice home, offering public skating, learn-to-skate programs, youth hockey leagues, and in-house development programs for ages 5–13.
Clean well maintained arena, the ties to the NY Islanders make it a bit unwelcoming for some Rangers Fans which is sad for kids who just want hockey. The twin rinks have a cozy fireplace social center and proshop and vendong machines that take credit cards! The clinic instructors are great for those lookong for hockey, there is also an outdoor half rink.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
well-suited to families committed to learning hockey or skating skills — facilities and instruction are at a professional level. Casual drop-in visitors should confirm public ice availability before making the trip, as hockey programs frequently take over both rinks.

“This establishment is the place to go in Nassau County for your ice skating ⛸️ fix. It has all the pieces in place for your enjoyment. Check for ice time before your visit. Hockey teams are often playing here, and as such, they take up ice time. So, get your blades sharpened and enjoy yourself. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲”

“Been in sales for 17 years. People like Jason, who work at the isles pro shop is a reason I proudly will be a returning customer. Grabbing a jersey, he helped me with certain specifics, went out of the way twice. On pick up, he even ironed to make sure optimal condition. This man deserves a raise.”
