I have to give the Chelmsford Forum five stars because I spent many days there during hockey season…read morein high school. Since we didn't get prime ice time, we had practices at 5:30am before school. Luckily, we had practice everyday because the forum never forgot to open up early,. and was always on time.. even at 5am. Some mornings I would lay in bed at 430am.. and pray to god that somebody forgot to open the rink. Never happened. It's a typical ice rink, nothing fancy. The Umass Lowell Riverhawks used to play there.. but they got the new fancy Tsongas Arena in Lowell. They have snack bar with the normal fried rink food and only one section of the bleachers have some sort of heating system type thing. They have free skate and open hockey.. and the guys that sharpen skates in the pro shop are the best. I've probably thrown up here more than any other public place.. so needless to say it holds a special place in my heart.

Went here with my husband and son for the first time, we often frequent other rinks but decided to…read moretry this one out for a change of scenery. Any place we've skated in the past has crates for the younger kids, the forum does not allow crates during public skate? The was automatically a downfall with having a toddler but we decided to try it out anyways since we were already there. My son fell while skating and it really scared him, considering he's not even 2 and he's used to using crates to hold on to, so my husband picked him up trying to get him off the ice and out of the way of all the hockey players racing around and slamming into boards. The second my sons feet left the ice a worker was right at my husband telling him to put him down, it was against rink rules to carry children while on the ice(as my son is screaming and crying). Needless to say, my child's safety is more important than your rinks rules. We got a refund and will not be returning.

I check in here every time they play and have seen the rink finally upgrade into providing a nice concession stand like others have done. They serve hot and cold foods now, and overall the *stinky* factor is not bad "Marlborough being the worse." The only thing I see lacking in this rink is the weather control "NATICK being the best so far for temperature and choice seating...you can sit behind the penalty boxes AWESOME!" Unlike the other rinks, their heating is not on par with the rest so a jacket/blanket is def required. I like that they have separate entrances for the teams and they do not have to have the teams walk through the actual lobby to get there (which I have also seen some rinks do "MARLBOROUGH" There is ample parking that is close and a Dunkin's/stores nearby. Kill two bird with one stone.

Went here the day after Thanksgiving because one of my niece's friends wanted to hang out here. I…read morethink I'm all set with Kpop for awhile. They had Kpop Demon Hunters playing on repeat, the music throughout the ice rink and then the kids went wild with it during karaoke. I looked around and could not figure out where the screen was (if they even had one) because other songs, kids were mumbling. I do appreciate that there's a middle area where ice skating beginners can practice and learn. They also had laser tag, but no one was interested. Pizza was the best they got for food and kept me full while my niece had fun. There was also a 1 lap race for different age groups and if you were an expert skater, they made you start further back.

Finding it and getting to it was rather easy as it's right off of 93 and it features a large parking lot. However the one thing that's great about it is the quality of the ice and the spectator seating. Both are top notch. However the locker rooms are tiny, especially for a roster of 15+ players. That aside the place is clean and playing there is pretty awesome.

He teaches them the little things they won't get elsewhere, and focuses on skating and balance for youngsters. I also like that he is not afraid to keep the kid on task. My major criticism is pricing. At $32.50/session the value is reasonable when there are 4-5 kids in a class. At 8-10 kids it's over-priced. Still, overall it's a great place for kids to learn to play hockey and I highly recommend it.

This rink needs a lot of work. From the outside, it looks like a barn rink. Upon entering, there's…read morea very small lobby with limited seating. The pro shop is also small and located to the left. Right before entering the rink, the concession stand is on the right. Right when you walk in, you are met with coned off area of the rink with caution tape because there's a huge leak in the area. If you're a parent that likes to stand by the corner of the end, you're not able to do that here. It is warm outside and the inside temperature is probably 10-15 degrees colder and this is still technically summer on September 12th. I can only imagine how cold it gets during winter months. There's metal bleacher seating but no ramp. If you are in a wheelchair, it'll be difficult to see the games because you'll be up against the glass. There's leakage all over the rink from the ceiling. I was watching a game and I had drips fall on me and I was quite disgusted. The ladies room could use improvement. If you're in a wheelchair it will be difficult to get down to the last stall for ADA access because the hall that gets there is narrow. Dirty and missing tiles on floor due to water damage. Unfortunately, we're in a showcase and will be using this rink for a few games.
