Visitor tip
Dress in multiple layers and bring heavy winter clothing for spectators - the stands get extremely cold. Consider bringing a sleeping bag or thick blanket if you'll be watching for extended periods.

The ice quality is excellent and well-maintained with regular Zamboni breaks during public skate sessions. Plan your visit timing around these mid-session breaks for ice resurfacing.
Visitor tip
The facility is very kid-friendly with quality coaching staff and heated locker rooms for children. Kids consistently have excellent experiences with the hockey programs and lessons offered.
