Cleaning procedures by staff

To assure the health and safety of our employees and participants, our staff will be following given guidelines and cleaning every surface at least twice a day. 

After each session, our employees will disinfect all surfaces used (benches, door handles, dressing rooms, etc.).  This might need a few extra minutes between each booking.   The time allocated on the ice will still be respected. We might have to add a few minutes after each flood.  This might affect the time of the reservations.   

We are adjusting to these new guidelines daily, so we ask for the user’s patience and understanding. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 523-2052.
