Flexible Arena

Flexible IT is proud to give back to the community through the Flexible Arena.

Why it exists

Ice costs hundreds of dollars an hour. Here it costs nothing.

It started during COVID as somewhere safe to play and grew into a year-round facility: ice in the winter, roller in the summer. Flexible IT built it, funds every part of running it, and takes nothing back out. The building, the refrigeration, the resurfacing, the upkeep: all of it is covered on our side and none of it gets passed along. No ice fees, no dues, no hourly rate, and it will always be that way.

Hundreds / hour

What teams around Long Island pay to practice. A single season of regular ice runs into the thousands before anyone laces up.

Booking here
$0 / hour

Every slot, every week, ice or roller. There is no version of this where you get a bill.

25+ hours every week

Open time on the schedule week in, week out. Ice from November through May, roller from June through October.

2pm until late

Slots start in the early afternoon and run through the night, so they fit around school, work and practice.

Bring an organization

That's the only requirement. You're booking as a team, not as individuals, and the ice is yours.

Who qualifies
Youth teams High school teams Travel teams Rec leagues Men's leagues College teams First responder teams

If you're part of an organized team, you're good to go. Reach out and we'll find you a slot.

That's the whole model. Teams that were paying thousands a season just to get on the ice now get the same hours for free, and the money goes back where it belongs: to the families and the players, instead of the rink. More about the Arena

What we ask in return

The rink stays free because everyone treats it the same way. These are the ground rules.

  • The facility is for team use only. Not private lessons, clinics or individual training.
  • Nobody may charge for ice or roller time at the Arena.
  • The rink is not a family recreation facility, so no parent and child or open skate sessions.
  • We may change, reschedule or cancel slots to keep demand fair and access open to the community.
  • Abuse of these privileges can mean losing access.

The full house rules live on the arena rules page.

Questions

The things teams ask us most

If your question is not here, call the rink and a person will pick up.

Is rink time free?

Yes. All ice and roller time at Flexible Arena is completely free. The rink is funded and maintained by Flexible IT, so teams and organizations use the facility at no cost.

Who can use Flexible Arena?

Youth teams, travel teams, school teams, rec and men's league teams, college teams and first responder teams. You book as an organization, not as an individual.

How do I request a rink slot?

If you coach or manage a team, create a team in the portal. Once you are approved you get access to the booking calendar, which allows one slot per week.

What are the dimensions of the rink?

65 ft by 130 ft.

What equipment is required?

All players must wear full hockey equipment, including a helmet with a face shield. Coaches must wear a helmet at all times.

Is the rink skateable on rainy or warm days?

Thanks to the roof, the rink can be used in any weather. It does need to be below 70 degrees to hold ice.

What if the time I want is already booked?

If the slot you want is taken for several weeks running, call us at (631) 756-0404 and we will work something out.

Do you rent the arena for private functions?

Sometimes. Give us a call at (631) 756-0404 and we will talk it through.

Still stuck? Call (631) 756-0404 or read the arena rules.

Flexible has been a wonderful experience! Out of all the rinks that I have run practices at, this is by far my favorite! There is something special about being on the ice with both my boys.

This is the first place I played goal when I came back to hockey after 17 years. I looked like a baby deer learning to walk in the crease but everyone was awesome. Kept coming back for more. Can't wait to go back again this winter. Great place to skate. High level. Always a great group.

Flexible runs a great ODR in Hauppauge that has become a favorite spot in town. The rink is always full of energy and laughter, making it a fun place for everyone. It keeps the kids busy during the long winter months when there isn't much else to do outside. Friends gather there almost every day, skating, playing hockey, and enjoying the cold weather together. Seth makes sure it's well taken care of, so it's always ready for the next game or skate session.

Flexible Ice Arena is always well maintained and a great opportunity for my teams to skate together and get practice time! We even celebrated a b-day there!

Last year was a lot of fun for our team!
We had some very spirited 3 on 3 inter squad games. The extra ice was beneficial for skills and unwinding from the pressure of High school games.
Did I mention Fun?
Fun for the players, fun for the parents and fun for the coaching staff.

Thank you Flexible for giving back to the Long Island hockey community!

The principles at Flexible Business Systems have done one of the greatest services to the hockey community on Long Island with the addition of Flexible Arena.

Ice time on Long Island is at a premium and to provide it to the hockey community from youth leagues to first responders free of charge is truly extraordinary.

My Mini Mites team of 5 to 7 year olds have had the privilege of playing both on the ice and , just yesterday, on the new roller hockey surface.

They have never left without huge smiles in their faces and their skill level gets better every time we get the opportunity to practice there

Flexible Arena is an absolute gem for small-ice hockey!

This hidden spot outside of a tech company offers one of the best setups for 3v3 or 4v4 hockey anywhere. The rink is covered from the elements, and while the changing rooms are mini connex boxes, they're clean, convenient, and add to the charm of the place.

The ice itself is top-notch, smooth, fast, and maintained better than most full-size rinks. Our club, Hometown Heroes, has hosted multiple 3v3 tournaments and open skates here, and every time the experience has been incredible. The facility has always welcomed us free of charge, which says so much about their generosity and commitment to the hockey community.

We're truly grateful for the team behind Flexible Arena and can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a fun, high-quality hockey experience on a small sheet.
