First time at this rink and its very nice. Takes a min or two to enter because of tracing info with covid, but not that bad unless there was a long line. The staff we talked with were very nice and explained restrictions with masks etc on the ice for the tournament. Hopefully next time we play all games here not kensington!

Great rink...have been playing hockey (goalie) year around for over 14 years here and its great.

Whiteout Beer league plays the home team Ice Dogs here. Always good to travel to different arenas to watch the game. Nice arena, clean, up to date, ice is always a good to. skate

We went to one of the noon time public skates (noon-1:50) $3 entry, $3 skate rental. The price of public skating varies depending on the session. Theres a second rink that looks like they rent ice time. I usually skaters with their coaches. Its fun to watch them practice.I dont know how their skating lessons or hockey is.

Banned my dad without explanation after 20 years of skating a few times a week. Manager doesnt care about condition of rental skates, so the edges are all terrible. Pro shop in the rink is pretty decent.

Love the Novi Ice Arena, great place for skating and drop in, always have had a good time at this place. Building is a bit secluded from the main roadway, so at first it’s a bit hard to find, but otherwise once there it’s a good facility, very well laid out and has a lot of activities being offered on a regular basis. They do a good job of maintaining the website as well, keeping people posted with what’s going on, which is great to see as this is not true of many other ice rinks in the area.

Noon skate during week is pretty empty, good for small kids learning to skate.

Came here to public skate with a large party. The skating was great, but the rink was pretty crowded. Even worse, a couple of friends werent able to skate because the rink ran out of certain common skate sizes. This was a huge disappointment. A couple of my friends were forced to wear size 12 skates which want ideal. Id come here again, but plan to bring your own skates.

Very nice ice arena. Nice staff love the treadmill that you can skate with your skates on very cool.

After getting to sticks and pucks and getting on the ice, my friends and I were told that we were not allowed to participate because we didn’t have “bottom half’s”. We were as prepared as any other time with stick, gloves, helmet and skates. Being a collegiate athlete, I’ve never been asked to wear the bottom half of my gear. That rule should not be for experienced players.I won’t be coming back to sticks and pucks with this preposterous rule.

I enjoyed Novi Ice Arena. The heaters were a nice touch and nice to see not on all the time. Lots of parking and situated in a park-like setting.

I love thier signs. Great peoole. Good ice.

It was really fun. It was my first time skating so I wouldnt know how good the ice was

Was here for a figure skating competition and the arena was good. Food services available and handicapped entrances and parking. A full pro shop was available as well. 2 rinks and the restrooms were clean

Over the years been here many times! We had kids bdays here- because of a confussion we had it during open skate- staff was helpful. Worked out well.

Very affordable and fun activity

We watched a 30 and under womens league play there. It was clean, and well kept. Lockers had nice facilities, for the girls to take showers after their game.

Clean arena doesnt smell like old sweaty socks. Seating is good well lit and heated. Concession stand well attended and clean. Food well prepared. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Great thinking about making it my new skate place

Nice place to take the family skating. They have rentals

Our team had our first fight here tonight. Childhood memories!

Roof leaks in the stands, and behind the end boards. Entire red rink smells of mold terribly.

I’ve been skating here since Freshmen year of Highschool. The rink is properly managed and the ice is nice to skate on. I highly recommend for leagues and learn to skate classes!

Went there for the Nick Lidstrom signing and it was very organized.

A very clean and properly managed. With having six sons and a grandson that played hockey Ive been in quite a few rinks. This one is definitely in the top three.

Jeff Lerg Goalie Camp.....Awesome / check out the arena and Jeff’s camp....

Lots of parking, nice ice arena.good staff. Very cold inside. Average food

They advertised a 5 years or less experience adult hockey league so a group of guys and i made a team with these kind of players as we are newer to hockey. We are currently stuck in a league that is NOT at all what was advertised, significantly outmatched every week. Ive played in leagues similar to what was advertised here and evaluations were set in place to prevent high caliber teams from joining a D league. I emailed the commissioner of the league he has not responded to me. place lacks professionalism and falsely advertises the style of leagues. Clearly just out for the money with no regard for the customer. I will not ever play here again. If i could give them no stars i would.... ***UPDATE*** they emailed back and to quote the email This league was not advertised as a beginner league i attached a photo of the D league I signed up for. 5 years or less experience, mainly as an adult. Designed for skaters with limited hockey experience. Am i an idiot for assuming that they would follow those guidelines? you can be the judge. I wont be back.

We had a blast at open skate!

Pro shop is clean and friendly, the ice is always good, the heat works awesome and theyll turn it on anytime you ask.Its just crazy expensive ice, and a left hand turn signal at Novi Road would be helpful.

Nice arena, been using this for years, Time for an update inside though.

$5 if you have your own skates. Great thing to do for a couple of hours. Much better than the roller rink, where the kids would rather play arcade games than skate.

Awsome place. Really clean and well maintained. I highly suggest taking kids to the open skate.

Rental skates are awful. Seems like they never sharpen them, they are almost unusable. Suburban Ice Arena down the road is much better.

Best hockey rink around in southeast Michigan

Adult leagues are decently grouped in terms of talent, Refs are an absolute joke. They just dont care about anything that goes on during the games, allowing players to get injured when easily preventable. Showed the ref I was cut on my face from a players stick and he said I didnt see you bleeding. Oh okay I just like to pour blood from my face. League needs better management and refs that arent completely oblivious. Sad.

Good rink, well maintained. Friendly staff

Very nice clean well managed

Went to open skating today with my kiddo. We were both super excited. I grew up playing hockey and hadnt been on skates in about 5 years, shes only been twice. I wasnt at home when we decided to go so we had to rent skates. No big deal right? Well, we got there, paid for everything, were given skates, and hit the ice. Hmmm my skates are dangerously dull I thought, so Ill go grab a new pair... Thats when Im informed that their ice skate sharpener has been broken for over a week. I dont know if anyone has a background, but its extremely dangerous for a novice or anyone without strong legs to step on ice with zero edge. How a place can keep holding open skate, making people pay full price, while not even providing adequate equipment is beyond me. We went around once and then I went to talk to the manager. He said pretty much nothing and offered zero apologies when I brought up the fact that hes putting people into a dangerous situation while also not making anyone aware that they are not going to get the experience theyre paying for... Pathetic operation for an ice rink in a rich white suburb. How much longer will we continue to let businesses take our money and provide inadequate services?

I had a good time but the zamboni was not used enough and the ice was not in the best shape it could be.

We do goalie camp there every July. Awesome rink great people

Great rink. Great schedule. Great drop ins. Worst skate sharpening Ive ever experienced.

The kid at the concession stand was rude and they ran out of hotdog buns

Great place to skate or watch. Great kids programs in both figure skating & hockey. Clean, well run ice arena.

Simply amazing place to learn skating and start ice hockey league for kids .. My seven year old absolutely loves this place.. We are going be coming here for many more years to come.. Amazing facility.. Thanks to NYHA..

Really nice open skate. Not too expensive or crowded. Watch the rental skates though. My first pair had a really bent blade on it. They changed it out with no problem though.

Love this place my twin brothers play here weekly and my other siblings have in the past! wonderful place to be! keep it up!

Completely wasted my whole morning, I have been going here for sticks and pucks for about 2 months now . I am over 18 and was never required to wear full gear, just helmet and gloves . I guess the lady at the front desk decided today is full gear ? The list only had 6 highschool kids on the list . Its a 40 min drive for me, wasted gas and my time . They should keep up on there website and post full gear only if thats the case . ONYX IS WAY BETTER, better ice better people and environment, I will now take my money else where .

Nice facility. Heaters were on!! Inside viewing. Good concessions. Clean bathrooms.

Terrible management and customer service. Not accommodating to young children or families. Make the drive to Canton ice arena, its actually worth your money.

Very nice rink. Well maintained and comfortable. Good skate shop too.

Nice ice, a bit busy even on week days

It was cold and slippery!!! Seriously.... very nice open skate!!

Fun public skating place

Great rink for everyone from open skaters, to spectators, to hockey players. Nicest rink Ive ever been to.

Beautiful rink other than the bathroom looked like they havent been cleaned in a long time.

Lots of fun for family and friends. They have rentals and lessons for all ages. Nice place to go any time of year

Kids had a great time during open skate. Fun place to get out to for an afternoon of family time.

Fun, great staff and a fun place to go with friends and family.

Good time at open skate ! The only thing taht could have made better would have been the ice being cleaned before open skate . Other than that we had a great time..

Blades in awful condition seams like they had never been sharpened plus there sharpener was broken got refund thankfully.

Great arena good concessions but be fully aware its a D4 officiated rink... this means horrible officiating and Novi hockey association doesnt care as they get the benefits....the rink will do their best to distance themselves from officials.... but expect injuries duw to poor officials

Neat ice rink, overhead viewing cool

Clean and awsome rink

Nice place overall, could have cleaner restrooms and a bar would be great otherwise its good.

Excellent set up for a hockey. For players and spectators

Fun. If your kid plays hockey the best ice arena you can find is right here in novi

The Ice is well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful.

One of the best rinks around. Always clean and Ice in good condition.

Eh... I like it when I can actually play drop in here. They have a horrible habit of scheduling drop ins, then cancelling them only a few hours before they start. Ice is decent. Full pads at sticks and pucks when the kids are off school is horse-bleep also.

Thank you for learn to skate day, so much fun!

Outstanding staff Instruction is well thought out and executed

Had a great time with the family at open skate. FYI, they dont provide training handrails for little tykes just starting out like some other rinks do.

Nice place, but not enough parking. Needs better crowd control planning inside & out.

Nice arena.

Nice well kept ice rink. A little crowded due to tall area to enter and exit rinks.

Great rink with a good concession stand and a stocked equipment shop.

Small but good pro shop, rink are well kept and open skate is cheep.

Love the ice. It is very nice to play on

I loveee going ice skating here on Sundays!

Better shape than most arenas in Michigan.

Very nice arena! Fun time for the kids to skate

The rink is small, however the staff are friendly.

Great ice arena. Has a good store.

Great rink for a quick skate and the staff is very helpful!

Great atmosphere, especially with the childrens skating class.

Nice rinks. It was fantastic to see the world class ice dance teams from around the world who train here. However, I came to skate, and since I was visiting from another country I didnt bring my own skates and neither did my kids. The rental stock was in desperate need of sharpening. We all tried multiple pairs and they were all un-skateable. They gave us a refund but it was really annoying to make the drive and try for ten minutes only to realise that it wasnt going to work. They told us the sharpener had been broken for several months!

Clean locker rooms. Nice staff. Ice can be bad especially in corners.

Great ice, good heaters for fans and snack bar

Nice place to watch a game, good pro shop.

Fun times with family. Nice facility.

Great place to play your league games at.

Nice rink. Good ice.

Great ice! Always a good crowd for drop in hockey!

Great place to play!! Go Northern varsity

Two sheets, reliable ice schedules

Nice arena but sub par ladies room.

Filthy bathrooms...but good wifi signal.

Great place. Thanks

Great
