Private ice rental
Ice time is limited and usually needs to be booked well in advance, but our scheduler keeps some time open for private rentals when building each month’s schedule. Send a request below or email us and we’ll find you a slot.

- All skaters must sign a Waiver & Release of Liability before stepping on the ice. No exceptions.
- Any private rental with skaters under 18 using sticks and pucks: everyone wears a helmet with a cage. Insurance rules — no exceptions. (Skaters 18+ with a signed waiver are exempt.)
- 72-hour cancellation notice is required — once a slot is booked we consider it sold.
