Visitor tip
Bring layers and dress warmly for spectating, especially if watching from the bleachers. Reviews mention the heaters don't always run and the venue can be chilly, though they do turn on when needed during games.
Best time
Arrive early for hockey games to secure good seating. Multiple reviewers note the wooden bench seating has limited sightlines (described as 4/10 view), so positioning matters for optimal viewing.
Visitor tip
For youth stick and puck sessions, remember to bring your own puck and ensure helmets are available, as they are required. Budget $6 admission plus $2 for skate rental if needed.
