Pretty decent hockey rink. It’s one of the rinks used in the league that I play in, the NESHL (New England Senior Hockey League) and I found it to be one of the better ones so far.
The parking outside is spacious which is pretty awesome — it’s in fact a lot better than the rink in Everett in those terms. And that is also the case for the locker rooms which are also pretty big.
That aside, the ice was in pretty good condition and not as soft as in other rinks, mostly because of the fact that the rink itself is kept at a colder temperature. The lighting of the ice is decent but the benches are a bit too short in length. Some of us had to stand up during the game…
All in all this is a pretty solid ice skating rink though. I’m playing there next week and look forward to it.

Good local hockey rink. Took my lil buddy Jack who I tutor at the Boys & Girls Club here for the Tufts vs Norwich game this past Saturday afternoon. Tufts a no gotta their own rink on campus since they didn’t have varsity hockey until a few years back. Good trivia (trivierrr) in case you’re ever in town.
It’s small, not a lot of seats, but it’s cozy. And you can see just fine, and they don’t mind if you stand up right next to the boards so that’s cool to get the close up especially when there’s a big hit right in front of you.
Plenty of locals in the stands (who knew there were so many Norwich hockey alums in the area?) and lotsa «Hey Laaahrrry, how’s the wife?» type of talk. Always amusing to hear.
Jack had never been to a hockey game so it was pretty fun for him. However, I think he had just as much fun playing the racecar video game in the lobby. Actually I did too!
