A reminder that for public skate times, including "with sticks" and ball hockey slots, children 11 and under MUST have a parent/guardian (16+) with them in the arena (0-7 year olds the guardian must be on the ice or on the bench, 8-11 year olds, they may be in the seats or on the track). These age guidelines are in effect during the new "all ages" with sticks as well.

AGES FOR OUR "WITH STICKS" PROGRAMS:
Tykes with Sticks/Ball Hockey- 12 and under (parent/guardian okay on ice). Helmets required, including seated on bench.
Youth with Sticks/Ball Hockey - 5yrs-15yrs (parent/guardian okay on ice). Helmets required, including seated on bench.
Teens with Sticks/Ball Hockey - 13 - 19. Helmets required, including seated on bench.

All Ages with Sticks/Ball Hockey - standard age rules for facility apply. Helmets required, including seated on bench .
Adults with Sticks - 19+. Helmets required, including seated on bench .
Helmets are required for all "with sticks" and ball hockey sessions, including when seated on the bench. For ball hockey, users MUST have closed-toe athletic shoes on. No sandals or slip-on shoes allowed.
Sticks and pucks are not allowed during any slots except those listed as "with sticks" or ball hockey.

NOTE: if a session is listed as a double slot (i.e. public skate has 2 slots in a row), users only pay 1 time for both slots of the same type. However, if the next slot is a different program, including different "with sticks" or ball hockey age level program, that is a separate charge. As always however, all slots are included with our memberships or as part of a day pass or punch card use.
