Petoskey Ice Arena is a family and community activity destination for all ages in Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, and Northern Michigan residents. With extensive renovations completed in 2019, the facility is a premier venue for youth hockey, adult hockey, figure skating, speed skating, curling, open skating, and more. 

While the arena may be open for private rental and FHA Summer Camp, the Proshop remains closed to face to face customers due to covid-19 precautions. We have implemented an online store for our customers /parents to pay for skate sharpening, tape, laces, sticks, FHA clinics, FHA summer camp concessions, and other hockey related items. Please follow the link above or below and select the items needed for purchase. We will not accept any on site payments. Once a purchase is made the Proshop will have it ready for your next visit, or they will give you a call to pick up your items. You can even pay on your mobile device and pick up your item while at the arena. If you need skates sharpened you will need to tag the skates with your name cell number and leave  them on the table near the front entrance with prepayment online. They will be sharpened within 24 hrs and ready for pickup. If no payment is made online they will not get sharpened. https://petoskey-ice-arenastore.square.site

RINK IS OPEN

We are currently open for private rental and FHA Clinics only. Please email petoskeyicearena@gmail.com if interested in renting the ice. Players and coaches  will need to follow the guidelines or you will not be allowed to enter the rink. See details below.

The Petoskey Ice Arena would like to thank all the players and parents that have continued to support us during these pandemic months. The arena covid guidelines are set in place with the guidance of a physician. Keeping the players and staff safe is our #1 priority. 

After advisement from our guiding physician during the month of September 2020 we will keep our practice/private rental ice guidelines as is: only 3 coaches and up to 20 players in arena, no other adults or siblings can enter. Same rules since the pandemic started. 

New Guideline Changes:

For hockey teams renting ice for games  in the month of September 2020 we can now implement the following guidelines: 3 coaches on bench and up to 17 players per team, 1 score/clock keeper, plus 1 adult per player will be allowed in to view the game. No adults in the lockers rooms. Coaches will be given 1 wrist band per player to assign to the adult before they enter. Wrist bands may not be transferred to another adult during the game.  For a complete up to date list of guidelines see below.

The Petoskey Ice Arena will  continue to work with a physician at the end of each month to see if any of the guidelines can be adjusted to allow more people into the arena.

These guidelines are set in place to keep players and staff safe and allow the arena to continue to stay open during this pandemic.

Thank you for your understanding!
