What visitors say
The handful times we've been there, the staff has been kind and helpful with access, skate rental sizing, walkers, etc. Low cost rink too.
Amazing rink! Hasek's Hero's is an amazing FREE learn to skate learn to play hockey program. Coach Joe and his team are an amazing bunch. We found about this place as a fluke during a birthday party we are now here 3 days a week…
Friendly staff and family atmosphere. Ice is quite rough, it needs some overhaul.
