Available Seasonally

While many think of youth hockey when talking about the ice rink at Veterans Memorial Arena, we also offer time for adults to take the ice and show off their skills.  Check out these great game and skill-sharpening sessions.

Rat Hockey Games – Available during ice season only

Available Seasonally

Grab some friends or come make some new ones at our 200′ x 85′ USA Hockey Regulation Rink! Rat Hockey scrimmages are open to players of all skill levels ages 18 and up! These exciting open hockey games typically run from September through March while the ice is on the rink, but you can check out our full schedule and available ice times here.  To play, you must bring your own stick and puck, and helmets are required for all players on the ice. We also recommend you wear full hockey gear to help avoid injury. While players officiate games themselves, please keep in mind that these are NO CHECKING, NO FIGHTING scrimmages. Anyone who does not follow these rules will be asked to leave. Click here for more information about the official rules of our Rat Hockey Sessions. Online registration and pre-payment are available for all sessions.

Players, age 16 and 17, may also play in Rat Hockey games, but they must wear a face mask and have a parent or guardian sign a waiver for that session.
