SAN JOSE RINK RENOVATIONS: 2018 SUMMER SESSION SCHEDULE

Speed sessions are scheduled in San Jose these dates: July 8 and 22; August 5 and 19. San Jose rink’s multi-million dollar renovation has included removing the center and north ice surfaces and the underlying sand, pipes, and dirt to a depth of 10 feet to remove the perma-frost. New dirt and rock were tamped into place, and covered with a layer of sand. Concrete and pipes will be laid in, and finally the surface will be flooded in layers to build up the ice. The rink has worked with the clubs to schedule practices throughout this process. Please enter using the east side doors. The cash register is located there. The rink employees will bring the pads across the parking lot. The skate locker, with the blocks, is in the usual location, in the construction zone at center ice. An employee can accompany anyone who is retrieving the blocks, or looking to rent a pair of speed skates.

CORRECTION: Sunday – February 25th 2018 we do have a speed session in San Jose!!!

Kimberly at San Jose rink put the speed session BACK on their calendar, because some of our speed skaters are training for Age Group Nationals. Thank you Kimberly!!! They will schedule their hockey Mini Mite exhibition for a different time.
