Rink lights were off until the last second, and the speakers/mic weren't turned on to use during the game. Lots of parking, though

Easily accessible from other large streets.
Clean locker rooms, good quality ice and a nice canteen. No comment on the prices, have not bought anything.

The rink was nice and clean but the change room floor was full of water. It's the Tournament weekend so the rink was super busy.

Good location with spacious parking. Small cafeteria, two hockey rings with changing rooms and big multipurpose hall. Staff were kind and helpful.

Jim Durrell Recreation Center opened in 1991. It features 2 NHL size arenas, and a large banquet hall.

5 star for the infrastructure, too much investment and amazing facility.

0 star for some coaches: Some coaches are not able to teach well (may be not all).

I see a coach has 3 kids and they have been wasting time for 3 weeks, with 0 progress. Coaches are not able to handle 3 kids in the class. Its funny to see that kids are learning very slow. After 8 classes our kid is walking on Ice like a toddler. I think coaches failed my kid for the Olympic already, time to teach kids STEM.no sports for O my dear Canada. (Even if I am willing to spend my time an money).
Also some coaches think they are doing some kind of favor by teaching. Co on grow up

2 really great ice rinks, a canteen with good snacks, there is a small sports shop which provides skate sharpening and hockey stuff you can buy, and a good parking space with several handicap spaces.

Nice facility, Clean and well maintained. Two ice pads one with seating for 5 hundred people the other with seating for maybe 100. The facility has a small sports shop that provides skate sharpening, tape, repairs etc. The canteen is well stocked with the usual rink food and drinks. Parking is sufficient with several handicap spaces.

One of the better rinks in the Ottawa Central area. Spacious with good seating, cafeteria and a hockey shop for last minute skate sharpening.

Great rink. Nadeem is very nice (he runs the concession) One rink is far bigger than the other.

Rinks are good and not too cold for spectators. Women's washroom needs a good cleaning - smelled horrible!
