SoBE ice arena, Pepsi ice arena...Hylo Park. And if you're someone like me, who appreciates the smell of an arena or gym that doesn't smell brand new...rather smell of history and looks like it has been around for a bit considering most things in this valley is new and pleasant to look at esthetically, then you can understand the 4 stars. Outdated compared to CNA and American...but that's because it's one of the oldest ice arena in this valley...an OG. I love that it is still surviving, and will thrive once they officially complete the upcoming project that will be built around/surrounding it.
There are teams that play out of here, games still being hosted, open skate, etc...while it's "old could use some upgrading" will cause some people to give it a lower star...don't forget this ice is now owned by VGK, and the ice quality is up to par! Which at the end of the day, that's what we should be judging any skating arena by.
Can't wait to see this place really really thrive. Because it clearly has been surviving despite it's location. read more
