Extreme Ice Center

I had the pleasure of spending time at Extreme Ice Center in Indian Trail aka Charlotte, NC. Extreme ice center has something for everyone, I watched families with children as young as three years and even senior citizens all here enjoying skating and some just relaxing by the bar area, or sitting in a private area above the training ring area. This facility is huge, it host two separate colossal ice skating rings, it has a full-service bar on the second level and a nice size room which can be rented for events. When you walk into the building the skate counter is straight ahead, and FYI they have plenty of skates and a strict sanitizing process which assures that they take very good care of the skates. To the left of the entrance is a training ring where teams go to train, play and practice and to the right is the main ice-skating ring which has lots of different things going on; you can skate in pairs, and they have a glow in the dark skating session which is lots of fun! Oh yes, all skaters must sign. Waiver (safety first). Everyone at Extreme is helpful and friendly and although the facility is huge, they do a good job keeping it clean.

We are here most weekends, and sometimes during the week for youth hockey games. Extreme Ice is a good operation with loads of instruction, classes, rental equipment, birthday parties and their wonderful bar and snack bar upstairs. there is also a down stairs order window, but using the upstairs bar allows you access to balconies over each of the two main ice rinks.Service is generally at the bar or at the windows. Sometimes an employee will circulate taking orders.Their menu has grown over the past few years into a very nice assortment of sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers and pizzas. Prices are very reasonable.Nice people, good food, good portions and fast service.

Extreme Ice center is a great play for free time, skating for individuals, families and friends. The center is huge and easily accommodates the needs for hockey tournaments and other large scale events. When you come here, you can bring your own skates or rent skates for $5 and admission is $10 for the whole day. I brought my daughter and her friend here and they loved it. They had a great time and there was plenty of space for them to "skates" or fall down! Extreme Ice also provides private training for people who would like to ice skate and they offer rentals for parties. A mistake that I made is not checking operating schedule because there are many events. The first time I showed up, there was a hockey tournament so we had to leave but I was prepared the next time.

Great night skate! This place is huge they have a section for everyone they even have a bar upstairs and you can rent private areas I mean this would literally be the perfect place for a child's birthday! You can rent skates they even had a little shop for food where you get yummy treats or lunch from burgers to fries chicken tenders, etc. The customer service was top-notch as well! Really had a great experience

I visited for the first time last week for a Yelp event. The place was clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and they even gave out vouchers to come back and skate! I can't wait to go back for the glow-in-the-dark skating!

People saying best figuring skating coaches where fired and have lost the program - I've been going there since 2008 when they opened they have had Olympic coaches and skaters since the start - "that coaches that where fired are new within the past few years. coaches that where fired where do to issues that they forgot to say in there posts . And there was a reason they where told to leave the rinkPlease tell the full truth instead of bashing "management " when they did the right thing sorry the coaches that were fired couldn't figure it out after getting several warnings to figure it out between them selfs . Extreme is the best place in Charlotte for kids and beginner skaters can't wait to take my kids here one day as I grew up here under the same ownership that is still here ! Great family environment

I wanted to use this water fountain to fill my water bottle for 3 months but it's always disgusting. I tried to get some help from the manager but was told she was too busy. Who would want to use this water fountain? I thought there were public health laws regarding water fountains?

If I could give this rink a zero, I would. The figure skating program, once the best in the area, has recently made the decision to fire all of the top-level coaches without warning to coaches and without explanation to parents and athletes. Nearly all of the accolades Extreme Ice Center has in figure skating came from the students of Mathew Gates, Sasha Zaretsky, Kelly Gates, and Vitaliy Danylchenko--World Champions, Olympians, and National Champions. The current figure skating director Jenny Gwynn and the acting general manager Brendan Logan are poor facility managers, poorer communicators with weak conflict resolution skills. I would think twice about enrolling in any figure skating programming as the directors have disrespected multiple coaches and athletes who have been training for national and world championships without warning or justification. If they treat top level employees this poorly, you can bet they will also treat your athletes/children with same level of disrespect. I highly recommend looking elsewhere even for Learn to Skate and Hockey because mismanagement knows no bounds and it affects all programming under the direction of an immature, intemperate, poorly prepared, and petty managementEdit to your response: "I'm sorry, Anna. I've never had an issue with you. You have gone above and beyond for my family. I feel sadness you are stuck here. I hope you escape this unjust place and find a facility who is dedicated to real athletes and sports development instead of a quick buck.

Good old fashioned family fun had by all. Rental skates were clean and great quality. Budget friendly as well.

Good rinks, but the absolute best service at the bar and grill you'll find anywhere, and I'm not just talking ice rinks. Our son just played his last tournament there ever, but we'll go back just to hang out at the bar! Keep up the great work.
