| - I had a fun time at this place. Not only did I get to watch the Phoenix Coyotes during a morning skate, but then I got to play hockey immediately after. I was so pumped up!
What I liked about here is that you can get very close to the Coyotes players. The fan area is just separated by a queue strip, and it is right next to the entrance/exit to the practice rink.
The ice surface that I played on was pretty nice, too. I was surprised at how good of a turnout there was for a noon pickup game. Everybody was nice and the price of $13 for over 90 minutes of ice time was worthwhile.
There is also a snack bar up front, and it looked pretty nice.
The only bad thing about this place is that the main restroom did not seem to be maintained well. It was clean, but I noticed that there was no toilet paper nor seat covers anywhere, nor were there paper towels by the sinks. That seems just gross, if you ask me!
Overall, this rink is not perfect, but it is not too shabby. The Coyotes need fan support, and so they'll gladly let you in to watch their practices. I am glad I skated here, and would gladly play on their ice again!
