Skating Programs

1. Participants are permitted to enter assigned change rooms 20 minutes prior to the start of their ice time. There are no extensions to this timeline.
2. All patrons must wear a face covering at all times while in the facility unless on the ice surface. Face coverings may only be removed for the time a skater is on the ice surface.
3. We strongly encourage everyone to come dressed for their ice activity, with only skates needing to be put on.
4. We ask that all patrons refrain from gathering in groups, and to maintain physical distancing measures at all times while inside the facility.
5. Two change rooms will be provided per ice time, with additional chairs located in the lobby area and rink perimeter for tying skates.
6. Skaters are not to enter onto the ice until the surface is completely clear and Zamboni doors are closed.
7. Your ice time will end at the discretion of the operator.
8. With one minute remaining for a practice ice time, the operator will sound the horn signaling it is time to immediately stop all drills, pick up all pucks/rings and other items, and prepare for exiting the ice surface.
9. At the end of a game if necessary or end of practice time, the operator will sound the horn signaling it is time to immediately leave the ice surface and return to change room hallway to the change rooms.
10. All participants must exit the dressing room within 20 minutes of the end of their ice time.
