💬 What Visitors Say

💡Uihlein Ice Arena runs significantly colder than other area rinks. Spectator heaters are only turned on during USM games and may be in 'cycling' mode. Bring multiple blankets, wear your winter jacket, and consider foot warmers if you'll be sitting for extended periods.
💬If you're enrolling in Learn to Skate classes, expect dynamic class assignments that may change during your session. Weekly skill assessments happen without a formal testing system at the end, so focus on consistent practice rather than preparing for a final evaluation.
💡The concession stand operates intermittently. Plan accordingly by bringing snacks or checking ahead if food availability is important for your visit, especially for longer sessions.
💡The ice at Uihlein is notably hard and cold, which is excellent for skating quality but intensifies the overall coldness of the rink. Wear extra layers and bring thermal clothing if you're sensitive to cold.
