Proper Skating Attire:
Remember, it can be very cold on the ice! We strongly recommend that skaters wear long pants that are not too baggy at the ankles, sweater or sweatshirt, and gloves or mittens. We also suggest that skaters wear elbow pads, knee pads, and a helmet. Rental skates included, if needed.
If you are interested in purchasing skates, please consult the advice of a professional (we can help with that, please ask).
Ice Hot Concepts currently operates a pro shop within the Rec Rink of the First Arena. With over 20 years experience, and as authorized dealers for all major brands, they can work with you to meet your needs. To schedule an appointment for skate fitting, please email us at robyn@icehotconcepts.net or call 271-2212.
