I have to give the Chelmsford Forum five stars because I spent many days there during hockey season…read morein high school. Since we didn't get prime ice time, we had practices at 5:30am before school. Luckily, we had practice everyday because the forum never forgot to open up early,. and was always on time.. even at 5am. Some mornings I would lay in bed at 430am.. and pray to god that somebody forgot to open the rink. Never happened. It's a typical ice rink, nothing fancy. The Umass Lowell Riverhawks used to play there.. but they got the new fancy Tsongas Arena in Lowell. They have snack bar with the normal fried rink food and only one section of the bleachers have some sort of heating system type thing. They have free skate and open hockey.. and the guys that sharpen skates in the pro shop are the best. I've probably thrown up here more than any other public place.. so needless to say it holds a special place in my heart.

Went here with my husband and son for the first time, we often frequent other rinks but decided to…read moretry this one out for a change of scenery. Any place we've skated in the past has crates for the younger kids, the forum does not allow crates during public skate? The was automatically a downfall with having a toddler but we decided to try it out anyways since we were already there. My son fell while skating and it really scared him, considering he's not even 2 and he's used to using crates to hold on to, so my husband picked him up trying to get him off the ice and out of the way of all the hockey players racing around and slamming into boards. The second my sons feet left the ice a worker was right at my husband telling him to put him down, it was against rink rules to carry children while on the ice(as my son is screaming and crying). Needless to say, my child's safety is more important than your rinks rules. We got a refund and will not be returning.

This place is great in a lot of ways. Location, super friendly staff and the crowd is usually…read moregreat. A solid star and a half dropped for the cigarette smoking the staff do right around the kids. It's pretty bad. Also, it's very much a "beginners" rink but there are only 3 red plastic "walkers" for youngsters to find their way with. It stinks paying $10 and not really getting a chance to skate because the competition for the walkers is high.

I was here for a hockey tournament and I have to say as far as rinks go, this one is quite nice…read more There are two sheets of ice and you can view games from the lobby area where they have decent seats and some tables. On the main rink, there is stadium seating with plastic seats so your tush doesn't freeze. There is a snack bar, pro shop, ATM, and even a bar where they serve beer! The restrooms are particularly clean compared to other rinks and they don't smell like pee. Drop off area is well designed but parking was challenging during a major event due to lack of spaces and the towering snow piles.

The best dedicated youth hockey training I have seen anywhere. Matt Deschamps runs the program and…read moredoes most of the teaching. He is excellent with kids. He teaches them the little things they won't get elsewhere, and focuses on skating and balance for youngsters. I also like that he is not afraid to keep the kid on task. My major criticism is pricing. At $32.50/session the value is reasonable when there are 4-5 kids in a class. At 8-10 kids it's over-priced. Still, overall it's a great place for kids to learn to play hockey and I highly recommend it.
