Built for six businesses on one floor
Silver Line Ice Arena opened with a single NHL-sized sheet and a schedule built around a simple fact: a rink is not one business, it is a timetable. The same ice hosts a beginner lesson at four, open hockey at seven, and figure-skating freestyle before the sun is up, and none of those groups should ever be on the ice at the same time as another.
The schedule exists to keep a beginner off freestyle ice and a stick-and-puck player off a lesson block, not the other way around. When the board changes hands between sessions, the whole sheet gets a resurfacing pass so the next group starts on clean ice.
Riverbend Youth Hockey has rented ice here for its practices and home games since the rink opened - they run their own program, we keep their ice cold and on time.
