We lead the way in sustainable ice rink operations, utilizing a state-of-the-art CO2 refrigeration system. This innovative technology recovers waste heat generated during the ice-making process, cleverly repurposing it to efficiently warm our showers and maintain a comfortable temperature in our lobby areas. Furthermore, our ice maintenance is meticulously handled by 'Frosty', our fully electric, zero-emission ice resurfacer. This ensures cleaner air for our athletes and spectators, distinguishing us as a truly environmentally conscious facility.

  • Advanced Heat Recovery System for energy efficiency
  • Zero-Emission Electric Edgers & Resurfacers for superior air quality
  • 100% LED High-Bay Lighting throughout the facility for reduced energy consumption
  • Integrated Rainwater Harvesting system for toilet flushing, conserving precious resources
