Ice Skating & Hockey Rinks
Versatile community assets that support sports, events, and year-round recreation
Ice rinks are in high demand and short supply
Ice rinks are high-demand, year-round community assets that support a wide range of programs while driving sports tourism and local engagement. From youth and adult hockey to figure skating, learn-to-skate programs, public skating, and tournaments, ice rinks serve multiple users throughout the day and evening, often operating at or near full capacity.
In many communities, demand for ice time exceeds available supply, creating waitlists and limiting access—particularly during peak hours. When thoughtfully planned and managed, ice rinks relieve this unmet demand, support youth development and wellness, and position communities as regional hubs for ice sports and events.
