Parking can be a challenge, and the ice seems okay, based on my son's experience. Unfortunately with rinks, you're limited to what's around, so if you're looking for a place to skate or join a league, you'll do fine here.

This rink was a total disappointment! We typically go to the Crystal Lake Icehouse and thought we…read morewould give this rink a try. 1) The rental skates are beyond horrible. 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. The pond near my house would be in better shape that this was. 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. Overall, poor experience.

I'd like to start off by saying I've grown up playing out of this rink and its sister location down…read morethe road. I've spent countless hours at both skating, playing and watching hockey games. While the other rink has a bit more nostalgia, I still have fond memories here too. It's not what it once was, but it still gets the job done for the basics of an ice rink. There is plenty of space all around, whether its the lobby, stands or locker rooms. It is sad that the Jerry's Pro Shop is no longer (thanks COVID), as well as the arcade that once existed in the first room to the left when you enter. I cannot speak on any of the specific programs (i.e. Renegades) since its been over a decade since I last played, though I've been few times here and there for public skates. Pricing for that seems reasonable, though I've had my own blades to use. The only negatives I could mention is that the Men's restroom is in a bit of disrepair, and that's why this review is down a star. Otherwise, it's still the same I as I remember. It's also a shame that they don't seem to have tournaments a lot, since they certainly have the space. Happy skating!

Great location !!! Great staff here to drink and watch a hockey game .. 1 of my favs here please tryread more

The rink itself is in good condition and the amenities are all in place: skate rental, lockers, concessions (accessible on skate). They have party rooms but seem to be currently under construction. Big improvements are on the way from the looks of it. Where this place really went above and beyond for us was a last-minute kids birthday party. Originally we were going to host at home and then go the rink but plans abruptly changed and Coachlite came through! They setup tables for us and made us feel very welcome. (Thank you!) I can't say enough good things about this place. It's a fun as you recall from childhood and I urge you to go if you haven't taken the family yet. You'll love it!

Coachlite is about to close, temporarily, for renovations until October 2025. But I look forward to visiting and seeing the renovations completed.

The staff here is wonderful to work with for parties, events, and fundraisers and they definitely seem to enjoy what they do. Thank you, Coachlite!

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.
