More Than a Place to Skate
For many people, Montclair State University Ice Arena is where they learned to skate, scored their first goal, landed a new jump, or spent an afternoon with family and friends.
For others, it’s where lifelong friendships began, coaches became mentors, and traditions were created that continue year after year.
While the arena is known for its hockey and skating programs, it’s much more than an ice rink. It’s a community gathering place that brings together athletes, families, students, and visitors from across Northern New Jersey, creating experiences that extend well beyond the ice.
A Destination for Sport, Recreation and Community
Located just 12 miles from New York City, Montclair State University Ice Arena serves one of the most active skating communities in the region.
Each year, the arena welcomes more than 750,000 visits through a diverse mix of programming and events, including:
- Youth and adult hockey
- Figure skating
- Learn to Skate
- Public skating
- Camps and clinics
- Birthday parties
- Community events
Whether someone visits once a year or several times a week, every experience contributes to the energy and sense of community that makes the arena unique.
Where Every Journey Begins
Every day, the arena welcomes people at every stage of their skating journey.
