Visitor tip
Bring a warm jacket or heavy coat - multiple visitors noted this is one of the coldest arenas they've experienced, so dress warmer than you might for other rinks
Visitor tip
The entrance is off the beaten path and difficult to find - GPS apps like Google Maps and Waze don't reliably locate it, so get directions in advance or arrive early to allow time for navigation
Visitor tip
Choose seats with good vantage points when attending games - the facility has comfortable seating with nice viewing angles, so arrive early to secure better positions
What visitors say
Nice facility, it the coldest arena I've been in, but I'm glad I had a jacket. Comfortable seating with nice vantage points for watching a game.
A really good older cold rink, which normally means solid hard fast skating on really good ice. It was and we enjoyed a wonderful ice hockey game.
Good ice, but difficult to find. Entrance is off the beaten path. Google and Waze don't even know where it is. Several floor areas that should be rubberized are concrete. Ref room has no washroom. Benches in ref room are uncomfortable.
