Visitor tip
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.
Visitor tip
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.
Visitor tip
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.

Brought my daughter to play hockey but it was pretty cold ,, I can see they have heaters on top of the bleachers but never got turned on ,, I usually go to Wilson park and it’s never that cold
THE COLDEST RINK I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Bring a couple blankets or just wear your snow suit. The heaters were not on they were " cycling". Other than that it's a great rink.
