What visitors say
It turned out much better than I expected after reading many of the previous reviews. It does have a snack shop, a decent sized waiting area and the ice surface was maintained well. It also helped that we won the game.
Nice little place. Was wondering to watch how they play? Looks amazing.
This place is Amazing. The staff and maintenance crew are the best in the world and the Zamboni drivers are absolutely terrific. I give this place five stars and my highest recommendation. Go Hogs!
