NOTES Unlike the commercial lists that take ads, this is intended to be complete.
If any rinks/schedules/clubs are missing, please send email.
Contact info is on My home page which also has suggestions for dealing with links that no longer work.

If I had infinite time, there would be up to date info for each rink:

Facility Name
Address with map link
Web page
Phone: Recording, FAX, Human, TTY; Email:
Ice Sheet # and size:; Indoor/Outdoor
Session schedule (link and/or phone for public, freestyle, dance sesions)
Classes (link and/or phone)
Skating Clubs (link and/or phone)

Many rink schedules change with little warning; check with the rink or club whether a given session is still on, especially for freestyle and dance sessions and around holidays, or when hockey season is beginning or ending.

Many club sessions require membership.
