Tri Valley Ice

First time visit during a hockey jamboree. The facility is set up to where spectators can only view the game from one end of the rink. (See diagram I uploaded under Photos) This resulted in a sea of humanity attempting to get a decent view of the games which was challenging. Ice condition was poor. Kids had to push the puck along with zero glide on its own. Zamboni made no difference as they hardly laid any water down during their ice cut. The one positive feedback I can provide is the smaller rink size fits well for 8U hockey. But they should avoid hosting future tournaments and stick to public skatings and team practices. But that ice needs to be fixed.

I came with my friends for one of the special summer events and got free skate rentals from dressing in patriotic colours that day :) I'm no pro-skater, while my best friend had taken lessons years before (so basically pro in my book), and the fact that both of us really had a lot of fun shows that Tri Valley Ice is good for the novice and seasoned skater out there. The ice is pretty sturdy, and the railing around the side is safe for all the beginner skaters out there (like myself) who spend the first ten minutes stubbornly clinging to the edge from fear. There's also a lot of bucket towers provided that beginner skaters can use to lean on while they skate. I liked that there were two medium-sized rinks, so you could easily transfer from one to the other if the rink you're on had too many people zooming around. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and overall it was a great experience! (Skate rentals are $5 and entry is $10)

Employees are not good, and place is not as well. They don't respond at all during business hours and after making 1 hr trip each way, only to learn after wasted trip public session is not available. The guy at the reception (sat 26th 1130am) does not even slightest concern about failure to pick up the phone, much less returning calls, wasted trip as a result.

We've been coming to Tri-Valley Ice since they first opened and love what they have to offer. Started off just taking advantage of their open ice times. My daughter took their ice skating classes for a few years and my sons been involved with their hockey program for five years now. The rinks here are a bit on the smaller side but it's cool that they have two which allows for way more activities than what Dublin Iceland offers. Seating to watch games/practice is probably their biggest downfall here. But on the flip side they have ample locker rooms, a pro shop (that also sharpens and molds skates), and a snack bar which also serves alcohol for those really long days at the rink.

We were introduced to Tri Valley Ice by a friend. We are so glad that are our kids are involved in their hockey program. Both our daughter and son are in their travel and in-house teams, respectively.The sport of hockey has brought a lot of physical and social growth to both our kids. They learn new skills in skating and puck handling. At the same time, they learn the value of team sport. Where every person is playing for the team, not for him/herself. The coaches are great at Tri Valley Ice. There is good coordination and a healthy family-like atmosphere. The hockey program is managed by different stakeholders depending on the group or program. But each one has its own unique way of encouraging the kids to learn and be part of a community.I especially love their learn to play hockey program. For $0.00 (Yes, it's free), girls get to try out ice hockey to learn basic skating and stick handling skills. To top it off, they provide fee uniforms to the participants. You can't go wrong with that!

DGD the Elder had her birthday party here. She is very athletic, and this suited here perfectly.The staff was helpful and friendly.The kids had a blast.Remember to dress warmly.Love the buckets for the learners! They did not have those when I tried ... long ago.Large Party was scheduled just as we were supposed to finish, so we had to exit the ice 15 minutes early for the Zamboni to groom the ice. This group also made it very difficult to exit the room. Perhaps scheduling groups so closely timed is not the best idea.Fun party anyway.

Me and my son have been here a bunch of times before COVID.. very friendly and helpful employees.. Today (March 21,2021) we signed our son up for hockey camp, first time on the ice in a couple months cause other places closed down. My son is 5 years old and after we paid and everything, we get here and are told that we (parents) can't go inside. Basically drop your kids off at the door like it's school. I have seen kids come out of the building looking for their parents (while their schedule camp is going on) and also kids younger than 5 years old. An employee has to help locate the parentsThey should allow at least 1 parent/guardian just in cause something happens and/or if a child has a little melt down.

It is very crowded and not enough space to skate per person. They just have one public session in week

This place needs a remodel. Clogged toilets, absent staff. Looks like an abandoned warehouse. Nowhere for spectators to sit.

My daughter plays ice hockey here. We are there 3-4 times a week. Everyone is nice, the place is always clean. The joyful laughter, playful screaming, and the chilling temps remind me of my childhood activities having fun playing at an ice rink. This is a great place to gather with friends, go for a skate, or watch a hockey game or two.
