Fun watching the kids play ice hockey 🏒

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking structured ice sports development rather than drop-in entertainment. Public sessions on Fridays and Saturdays suit casual visits, and learn-to-skate group lessons are well-suited to kids aged 4 and up. Families committed to youth hockey or figure skating will find a deep program structure with strong community ties.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Public skating is available to non-members on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons — no membership required
⏰Enroll in learn-to-skate group lessons before committing to a full club membership
đŸŽŸī¸Summer hockey and figure skating camps are open to youth regardless of existing club membership — check registration timing
🚗Parking is tight; arriving a few minutes before session start helps secure a spot

“Great rink. I learned to skate here. Not via their classes, but the public skates, which was hard. But I am getting better. The staff is friendly, and they have a decent schedule with ice shaving during public skates. The parking kinda stinks though, and the bathrooms are really small. I also don't like most of the music played (but that's just me. I don't like pop)”
