AZ ICE Gilbert is the new name of what once was Polar Ice Gilbert. It is under new ownership. AZ ICE is our home rink and we have been skating there for many years with our kids either figure skating and playing hockey. I am very excited about the changes we have seen so far for the betterment of the rink and the community. I know that they are continuing to make changes and I am very hopeful about all the good things that we are seeing. The ice conditions have already improved, the cleanliness of the facility is noticeably improved and the cafe seems to be headed in the right direction.
The grand opening was a nice event. There was free food, games, music and face painting. The mayor of Gilbert was in attendance as well as, the new owner and many from the Gilbert Parks and Rec department. It was nice to see everyone all there together, unified, as this was a long process to get to this point.
Business transitions are hard and take time and I am willing to take time and evaluate those changes as they happen. I hope to be able to come back after some time and amend my review and make it 5 stars!
