A classic skating rink that brings me back to the times I use to have skating lessons as awhile…read more Its stocked with a good amount of benches for lacing up for the rink , standard amount of bleachers by the rink. The bench area also has TVs , washrooms , change rooms , vending machines and a kids busy board type wall fixtures. Near the front is a concession stand with your standard assortment of hot / cold drinks , popcorn and baked foods. There is another room for getting your skate rentals. They had the cutest inflatables set up for the holiday season! There is ample amount of diagonal parking just in front of the rink and a larger lot further in ( which I think is for school parking during the weekdays but we were here on the weekend) I always forget about public skate days but would be a good weekend outing.

What a deal! We're coming from the states and found this ice skating rink near our hotel. It was…read moreabout $10USD for admission and rentals for 2 adults. We used hockey skates and that was exciting. There were tons of kids but that's expected on a weekend. It was fun to dodge them. Great recreation arena with many other offerings like gym and pool.

Hope the owners know this is how this rink is managed, or should i say lack of management. This rink needs new management that is NOT involved in the cattiness this rink choses to operate by.

Very poor maintenance, no creature comforts like heat for parents to watch their kid…read more Heat is only turned on some time in November. Dressing rooms are just small, and the lining in many areas is coming a part, making it easy to step on concrete. Also, restaurant upstairs is ultra expensive.

As soon as you walk in, there's the check-in office on right, skate/equipment shop on left, some nice seating around the staircase, decorated with rocks to those who care about decor, and a concession stand in the back. Like I said, nice and compact. But I'm not a fan of their dressing rooms & showers, outdated as well as if you're 6 feet, make sure you don't hit your head on the sprinkler. Plus, the water doesn't stay on long, so it's a lot of holding the friggin button. Lastly, the parking lots are a bit shady to me. Not well-lit and secluded being by the highway & in the industrial area. Not saying it's rowdy but I sure wouldn't want my lady to walk alone past 8pm. But ice-wise, it's nice here, 4 rinks. Well-lit and good scoreboards.

This is a great place to play ice hockey, indoor soccer or do some ice skating…read more What I love about watching my husband and friends play hockey at 8 Rinks, is that you can watch in the comfort of the restaurant upstairs. You're not pressured to purchase any food or drinks so I like that flexibility. There's a couple of massage chairs in case you wanted to relax and most importantly, it is WARM upstairs. Yay! If you do want to purchase food, I usually order the nachos. The portions are huge and I find they are the tastiest items on the menu. Go for the Irish Nachos if you have room for extra room and deliciousness! http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/p9DWM8w27HhNUgLev1wJEA?select=Q-GBX69EPPuRbjfE48944w (instead of corn tortilla chips, you get deep fried potatoes) Note: There's plenty of parking and it is always free.

Very disappointed with this place. My 14 year old daughter was interested in getting into hockey…read moreso we signed her up for an intro camp. The instructor said to put her in a camp for 6-12 year olds and it would be fine. Some of the kids in her camp were 5 years old and they all thought she was the instructor. It was very awkward and she hated it. They spent a lot of time playing tag and dodge ball. We were told that she would fit right in and she'd be spending a lot of time on the ice learning the basic skills and rules. Very little time on the ice, she didn't learn anything and now she has no interest in learning how to play hockey.

Located inside the former Great Pacific Forum arena, this gets the bonus star because unlike the…read moreother rinks that have hockey shop to sharpen skates, RR is right at the entrance so you don't need to walk back and forth to the dressing rooms. And while not considered a full-size retail store, this one is the biggest in comparing Cyclone Taylor's @ Richmond, and 8-Rinks. Even a good selection on goalie gear. As usual, main line of biz is their sharpening, and it's as good as to be expected. Nice comffy sofa waiting area with, of course, a TV showing hockey.
