From my memory, it was a very "rustic" rink and for some reason in my mind I remember chain link fencing (instead of nets above the glass? I'm probably imagining that.) and a lot of yellow. To my surprise, this rink appears to have been recently renovated with new ice and all! My son has skated here for practice recently and said the boards are a little soft, but I am sure that this rink is a work in progress. He's got more practices and soon, there will hopefully be a game we can attend. You should definitely stop by when you can!

Parking can be a challenge, and the ice seems okay, based on my son's experience.

Laces that don't work, sizes way off. Service behind the counter was slow. 2) Changing area tight. 3) Rink was in such poor shape. Not smooth would be an understatement.

No reason the rink was not cleaned up at least once while we were there. 4) No skate guards, which meant kids going in the wrong direction and numerous people trying to skate with their cell phones.

I had to update my review…read more It doesn't matter that some of the locker rooms need a touch up, or that the Far East Rink is in need of some fresh ice... our experience here with travel hockey has been remarkable. Our son had the opportunity to play goalie for the fall season and he was fortunate to be on a team with some good kids. The management of the team, the coaching, and the parents made our first experience with travel hockey, one to remember. If our son didn't age out of the bantam level, he'd want to stay with the team for the spring. If you're wondering if you should get your kid into hockey here, we highly recommend. The Firewagon group has been extremely high-touch and supportive throughout and you'd be hard pressed to find a more personal experience in the area.

Although the mission statement on your website emphasizes providing a safe environment, my…read moreexperience today was anything but that. My 8-year-old was surrounded by a group of unsupervised 13-year-olds who tripped him and struck him in the back of the head. When I brought this to the attention of the manager, I was told that drop-offs are permitted, and no action was taken to remove the older children involved. Despite three witnesses confirming what happened, staff chose to side with the teens, accepting their explanation that it was an "accident." When the manager confronted the group, I saw them laughing, which gave me the clear impression that the seriousness of the situation was not acknowledged. Additionally, there seems to be a general lack of enforcement when it comes to the rules on the skating floor. At times, it feels like skating at Xtreme Wheels is a free-for-all. Families are trying to enjoy their time, but they're often sharing the space with unsupervised kids running around without accountability. I believe that if floor rules were more consistently enforced, it would create a safer and more enjoyable environment--especially for families with younger children.

I used to really enjoy this place. I have been skating at Xtreme for over a year now. I had been…read moregiven permission to skate at the adult skate although I was not yet 18. Tonight(03/14/26), I had been told to leave during the adult skate. My mother had gotten yelled at for trying to go on the skating floor as well. He asked me for my ID and I gave it to him. He proceeded to call me and my mother liars. I know for a fact that he let's children skate during adult skate. We did not get a refund and he did not offer one. Another issue is the bathrooms, specifically the women's bathroom as I have no reference for the men's. I have a disability and although I usually manage, I had used the accessible toilet. I had noticed that there was only a railing behind the toilet which I could not reach. Also during the session, a kid touched me inappropriately and smiled afterwards. I do not feel safe at Xtreme Wheels. I am afraid to go back now because I feel as if I will be banned permanently.

Okay - I'm not sure what happened to this place. I used them the past two summers to rent chairs…read morefor graduation parties, and they were great. Reasonably priced, very responsive. I picked up the chairs and the warehouse guys helped load them into my car, unload, etc. But then recently, I inquired about renting tables, chairs and linens for a bridal shower. First, their contact us form on their website wasn't working - some issue with the captcha. So I tried emailing with my request and questions about table options. I waited for days, and then I got an anonymous text with a couple of questions in return. So I'd respond, and then days would go by where I wouldn't hear anything again. I called several times and left messages, then I got another text a couple of days later. Finally, I got a text with just a price tag - no itemized breakdown of costs, no responses to my questions about table sizes, nothing. I left another message, asking for an itemized quote and haven't heard back. Its so surprising, considering how responsive and professional they were the past two summers when I rented from them. Itemized contracts, detailed terms. everything you would expect. This time there was none of that. Did they lose their sales staff? Are they going out of business?

Our little girl speaks primarily Spanish and even though he's not Latino, he speaks Spanish and was able to communicate with her. She had an absolute blast with Coach Michael. We're a bit far out in Chicago but we're considering driving for an hour to Indiana regularly just to have her learn to skate with him, given how impressive her lesson was. The rink inside his studio is synthetic ice, but it seems to be as skate-able as regular ice, and it's not cold and not as hard, so it seems much better for young learners.

They allow bullies to stay on the Women's Volleyball league and A-level competitive players to play against less-experienced players (B/BB, C, D-levels) in 1 co-rec league. It causes alot of court/game problems regarding positions and cohesiveness to play together safely. I was on the Winter/January 2024 VB league and experienced negative incidents from female players. As a long-standing BB/B level VB player, I bring my positive attitude in playing with teams and mates but many players don't share the same standards. I was born legally 65% deaf and my disability often confuses people since I can't engage in normal conversation, often mistakenly read as being anti-social. Everyone in leagues I play on are alerted about my hearing disability. 1/29/2024: teammate Donna (same team Spike-N-Spice, captain Brandy Valentine) cowardly pushed/jabbed my back from behind during a game. I was caught off-guard considering she and I have never had problems, but I sensed anomisity from her the beginning. No avail as to why. Recollecting myself, I ignored her cowardly aggresssiveness and continued playing with proper sportmanship. She never explained to me why she pushed me nor did I ask her and I couldn't trust her anymore. Captain Brandy chose to not act upon this assault, and I took myself off the team. I emailed Dundee Township managment providing full incident details. Tammy Greco, Superintendent of Rec, contacted me back only saying general words of "Thank you for sharing your feelings, it's been addressed." There were no resolutions given to me as to the outcome of Donna's bad behavior. This incident wasn't based on "feelings", it was based on a physical assault per videotapes. Since the township choose to not act, I don't feel safe to continue coming here, assured that behavior like this won't be allowed.
