When your group uses the facility, you are responsible for ensuring the following rules are followed. Please be aware that the rink is monitored 24 hours a day via video surveillance.

  • You must inspect the ice surface, boards, and player bench area before each session. If an unsafe condition exists, you must notify the rink attendant. If no attendant is on duty to rectify the situation, DO NOT use the ice.
  • If you notice that the ice conditions are unsafe or become unsafe, you must discontinue play.
  • Players must wear full equipment, including a mouth guard and neck guard.
  • You must sign a waiver and make sure every player using the ice has signed a waiver. For children under 18, their parents must sign the waiver.
  • Players and coaches who signed a waiver will be given a sticker to wear on their helmets. Coaches, use these stickers to keep track of waivers.
  • Review your waiver report before each ice slot. If a participant’s name is not on the report, have them fill out the waiver at www.flexiblearena.com before they go on the ice.
  • If a coach is going on the ice, they MUST wear a helmet at all times.

Before Leaving the Flexible Arena

If you are the last slot of the night (8:30 PM), we kindly ask that the following tasks be completed to ensure the arena is safe and well-maintained:

1. Remove Nets and Pucks from the Ice
– Please remove all nets and pucks from the ice surface. Leaving nets on the ice overnight can cause them to melt through the surface.

2. Close All Rink Doors
– Ensure all rink doors are closed. Leaving them open allows cold air to escape and affects the ice quality.

3. Shut Off the Rink Lights
– Turn off the rink lights. The light switch is located in the corner by the Zamboni garage.

4. Turn Off Heaters and Lights in Locker Rooms
– Switch off all heaters and lights in the locker rooms, and clean up. Leaving heaters on overnight poses a fire hazard.

5. Lock the Gates
– Once the arena is clean and everyone has left, lock the gates behind you to secure the facility.
