Arenas, Rinks & Dry Pads
For the Fall/Winter season, indoor arenas are booked in 1 hour blocks for a twenty-six week season. Ice is available for tournaments and special events on an ongoing basis. You can search for available ice time on-line during the season. Outdoor rinks across the city are also available for long term contract and special functions and in the off-season, you can book a Dry Pad at select facilities for your league or event.
Additional Ice Time For Sale provides a current listing of additional ice availability for both seasonal and spot ice. It displays ice which has previously been permitted by an organization which can no longer utilize the time due to a scheduling conflict. If interested in permitting a date and time listed, please contact the district specific number indicated for further permit options and details. Our offices can be reached Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. Please have a valid AMEX, VISA or MCARD available for payment.
