💬 What Visitors Say

• 💡Always confirm the schedule on Smead Arena's website before visiting, especially for open skate sessions. A visitor drove 30 minutes only to be turned away due to a scheduled game, so verify timing in advance to avoid wasted trips.
• 🕐Arrive early during open skate sessions to secure skate rentals. The facility may refuse rentals if a game is starting soon, even if open skate time remains on the schedule.
• 💬Review the Skater's Responsibility Code before your visit. The venue emphasizes this for all visitors to ensure safe and enjoyable skating experiences.
• 💡For families with young children, bring entertainment alternatives like coins for vending machines or plan to use the games available on-site, as kids may get bored during adult skating sessions.
• 💡Ice quality can vary depending on maintenance staff on duty that day, so manage expectations accordingly. The venue is generally solid for hockey play, but conditions fluctuate.
