We are also incorporating plasma screens throughout the facility to keep you updated with current rink information as well as piping in hockey games, figure skating events and the Winter Olympics!!!

Sign ups for the fall season are coming soon. Discounts will be available for early sign ups. We looking forward to having competitive prices and a well organized season. Goalies are always wanted. Most of our Friday night Metro practices will have a Goalie coach on hand.
