Been hitting it at least once a week since. So lucky to have something like this local- especially for the winters. I hope modern stays open forever.

They do lock-in skating events usually during holidays mostly. There are tables for the folks that aren't skating and they have Wi-Fi and a parent room that's quieter. Two seat high tables along the fence for the minor kids and a bunch of random couches by the main entrance. The parent room provides a bit of shelter from the constant noise of wheels rolling over metal plates at the top and bottom of a ramp. The interior is a big open warehouse. Fenced in for the skaters. Not fancy, but lots of different ramps for skateboarding, rollerblading or for razor scooters. My nephew wanted to try out every ramp to see which one was to his liking. Do bring a book, noise canceling headset and maybe a phone charger too. If you need snacks, Kroger is just across Stephenson and Penn Station subs just a half a mile away. They do have some snacks in the 3 vending machine. Probably a bit more fun coming with friends. My nephew felt a bit comfy after a half hour of getting the lay of the land. It can feel a bit chilly in the warehouse. My nephew said there's some fun ramps and runs, he was getting toasty running around some. Not me. He walks some and studies them ahead of skating to see what's on the other side to make sure there aren't any stairs on the other side of a ramp. My nephew likes the two half circle ramp with the flat landing in between. He also enjoyed the bowl, which has a slope to enter it.

    Has no suitable changing area for female hockey players attending coed events/rentals. Earlier…read moretoday I attended a private drop in with a group of mostly men and a few other women. The other women in the group don't mind changing with the men but I prefer not to, so I requested a separate room (women's changing room, referee room, etc). The woman at the counter, who was less than pleasant, said she "couldn't let" me use a ref room or any other locker room in any of their FOUR rinks. She offered me a place to change with no skate mats, in the furthest rink (1) from the one we were playing on (4). This is totally unacceptable in 2025! I play in many different arenas around Detroit and Toledo, several in much less affluent cities than Troy, and they all provide me with some place to change that can accommodate my skates and is not a public restroom.

    The Troy Sports Center is a large facility with 4 sheets of ice, a dance studio and a sports rehab…read moreplace upstairs. There are many reasons to like this facility, namely the large locker rooms, quality ice surfaces, and the pro-shop located in the lobby. The pro-shop is a separate business, but they have all of your equipment needs and can do a good job on your skate sharpening and repairs. There is a snack shop and plenty of vending machines, but there is no bar or alcohol sales. This rink has the full compliment of learn-to-skate, open-skate, youth hockey at all levels and mens' league. I didn't rate this 5 stars because the building is outdated and is missing a few of the modern touches of a true multi-plex. It's still a great place to play, practice or watch hockey.

I find their…read moreselection to be very useful if you are in a pinch or need a small part, accessory, tape, or a sharpening. Their sticks are moderately priced and they have larger selection than most rink shops IMO. Equipment wise, I would order it online. Speaking of skate sharpening, I try to avoid their service unless I absolutely positively need my skates taken care of. They never seem to have a consistent "skate tech" there except for one older gentleman. If you get him, you are in the green...however, if you get anyone else I would be concerned. I have asked for different cuts (sharper or duller) and have gotten a variety of different results. Furthermore, I'll end up with one skate sharper than the other or a great inside edge but literally no outside edge. Skate sharpening, although simple in concept, is an art IMO. You want the guy who has been doing this for 10+ years working on your skates because they will be consistent all the time (at least from my experience). What makes my situation even more complicated is I have goalie skates which have a longer, flatter blade and seem to be more of a hassle to do. I strictly go to Peranis or the skate shop at Birmingham Ice Arena, as they have some great seasoned people. Staff wise, I've for the most part found everyone to be helpful and pleasant/welcoming. Everyone I've had assist me has been eager to assist. With how many hockey players & parents that routinely come through the rink each week, they would be very negligent to not to take care of their customers as they are easy repeats.
