Recreational Skating Programs 

Rec Skate - This is an ideal time for skaters of all ages to enjoy recreational ice skating time.  Regular admission rates apply and skate rentals are available. Hockey and figure skating is not permitted during Rec Skate sessions.

Cheap Skate - Come and enjoy a Rec Skate session with discounted rental skates! Skaters with their own skates pay regular admission.

Frozen Tots - This session is designed to be a slow skating experience for less-experienced skaters who may be intimidated with larger skating crowds.  Ice scooters are available for younger skaters that meet the criteria.  We encourage novice skaters to "wall crawl" and find their balance on skates if possible.  All ages are welcome but we ask that skating activities are considerate of novice skaters safety.

*NEW* Sensory Friendly Skate - All are welcome to Sensory Friendly Skate Sessions!  These sessions are facilitated specifically for skaters that can benefit from a quieter, calmer experience at the ice rink. Our staff will welcome skaters of all abilities and provide a relaxed supportive atmosphere while limiting excessive noise and activity.

Please note: Staff will manage the rink environment to meet the needs of skaters experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities.  We welcome all ability levels to participate while respecting the needs and abilities of skaters requiring a quieter slower-paced atmosphere.

Hockey Programs

Adult Hockey Skate - Hockey players age 16 and up can organize "pick-up" games and practice skills.  Equipment is not provided. Please keep other skaters safety in mind at all times.

Stick & Puck - This is a casual hockey skate time for all ages to enjoy the ice with their stick and puck. Organized games are not permitted at this time.
