    Perfect sharpening. Hours seem odd and inconsistent, but I could be confusing summer and the rest of the year's hours.

    What Louis has forgotten about skates and skate sharpening is pretty much what all the big box stores knows about skates and skate sharpening.

To boast three sheets of ice in modern day rinks is almost unheard of. These folks juggle that with no problem. All the ice here is expertly maintained. You'll always hear me bitch at the figure skaters for destroying the ice with toe picks and as such blowing-out the knees of unsuspecting hockey players. Not here. The magicians seem to anticipate this and react accordingly. Smooth sheets. Safe knees! There's a rather large parking area and you'll find quite the variety at the concession stand. Their main lobby also features plenty of bench seating and they have an ample meeting area. The bathrooms are decent but are at the rink ends, not off the main lobby. What few staff you deal with are fabulous and you can still visit Mrs. Jones and her top notch pro shop. While two of the arenas have more than enough bleacher space, the smaller rink needs more seating. That can't (or won't) be changed, sobeit. Costs obviously have increased due to Covid and its tentacles. They do have sophisticated aids and are still the goto for figure skating instruction. Competitive skaters/trainers from all over the world stop here to train. Did you know they have a physical therapy center on site? 06/21

    2017-10-22. The New Rink is located in Shelby Twp, MI. It has it's own parking lot with literally…read morehundreds of parking spaces. Last known as Maxx Play, the 90K sq. ft. facility was also the former home for a plethora of businesses that failed the test of time. From bounce castles, to paintball, to Whirlyball before it. The place was shut down in 2009's and it sat empty for a couple of years. In 2011, the new owners refurbished and renovated, and reopened as The New Rink Roller Sports Complex. Some of the original decor remained, the original entrance, the wood floor skating area, and those globe chandeliers. And with the vast space, they were able to maintain most of the original businesses. In addition to the rink, A separate section with bounce houses remained, as well as a separate section for an arcade. There was also a closed off section I wasn't quite able to see, but it looked like another rink (Roller Hockey? Private party?). And, of course, facilities for parties, complete with a snack bar. Lastly, there is a pro shop to cover all sorts of repairs and carries items for you to purchase. But the reason why I'm writing about this place is simply because it exists. With a bowling alley up the street, two trampoline parks and a rock climbing gym nearby, and a laser tag facility down the street, this rink rounds out activities nicely for the area. During the summer, they have admission specials and skate programs to help occupy our kids and getting in some physical activity to boot! 4 stars overall. For those of you wondering, I think the Paint Ball business is still there. I didn't see an entrance from the inside, so I'm assuming it's only accessible from the plaza. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company.

Then, when my daughter and I went to the woman bathroom near the soccer/ hockey rink there was a man using the bathroom with the stall door open. He did not flush the toilet or wash his hands and when we told the rental manager she said " oh they do that all the time" as if it was ok and normal.

    While the facility itself is excellent and the adult leagues are well-run, the Vipers youth…read morehouse/rec program at the Suburban Rochester location has significant structural issues that parents should consider before paying the high registration fees - and this review is specifically about the house program. It is worth noting that this appears to be a localized issue; we know coaches and parents at the other rinks associated with Suburban, and these problems do not seem to be present there. Based on our experience at the Suburban Rochester location, families should be aware of the following: Inconsistent Coaching Standards: There have been frequent issues with coaches arriving late to practices and games. More concerning is that official coaches have been absent from the bench during games, with non-certified parents filling in, which is against USA Hockey rules. Lack of Oversight: Concerns regarding coaching and player retention were shared with the Youth Hockey Director last season, specifically regarding coaches telling players they were not going to receive play time, which led to players quitting. In a house league. Despite this feedback, no changes were made and the same staff was retained. It appears there is very little accountability once the non-refundable fees are paid. Practice Quality: At the 14U level, the league rosters nearly 20 players and practices on a half-ice sheet. At this age and size, this leads to practices that are crowded and slow. Our experience was that practice sessions lacked structured drills and consisted mostly of half-ice scrimmaging, where players who were not involved just stood around. There was no focus on skill development, positional play, or other fundamentals. Disproportionate Instruction & Ice Time: The instruction and ice time are heavily weighted toward the top 4-5 players and the coaches' own children. Unless your child is one of the top players on the team, you will be paying the same amount as everyone else but receiving significantly less ice time and instruction than those few players, despite it being a house/rec league, it is treated more like travel. It would be beneficial to see the association prioritize the growth of every player on the team, rather than just a select few. Until then, parents should look at other locations or leagues where the high cost of registration is matched by equitable development for all players.

    Has no suitable changing area for female hockey players attending coed events/rentals. Earlier…read moretoday I attended a private drop in with a group of mostly men and a few other women. The other women in the group don't mind changing with the men but I prefer not to, so I requested a separate room (women's changing room, referee room, etc). The woman at the counter, who was less than pleasant, said she "couldn't let" me use a ref room or any other locker room in any of their FOUR rinks. She offered me a place to change with no skate mats, in the furthest rink (1) from the one we were playing on (4). This is totally unacceptable in 2025! I play in many different arenas around Detroit and Toledo, several in much less affluent cities than Troy, and they all provide me with some place to change that can accommodate my skates and is not a public restroom.

There are many reasons to like this facility, namely the large locker rooms, quality ice surfaces, and the pro-shop located in the lobby. The pro-shop is a separate business, but they have all of your equipment needs and can do a good job on your skate sharpening and repairs. There is a snack shop and plenty of vending machines, but there is no bar or alcohol sales. This rink has the full compliment of learn-to-skate, open-skate, youth hockey at all levels and mens' league. I didn't rate this 5 stars because the building is outdated and is missing a few of the modern touches of a true multi-plex. It's still a great place to play, practice or watch hockey.
