Mount Clemens Ice Arena

Andy, the manager, and his crew do an amazing job. This rink is clean, has a nice snack counter, and has a great friendly environment. We've been coming here since 2011 and love seeing familiar faces every time we return. The Learn to Skate program is great [shout out to Coach Carlos]. The shift over to hockey, if that's your thing, is seamless. Nothing bad to say. Thanks Coach Andy for everything you did and still do.

I feel the need to post the public review due to a specific situation. Jan 2023 after years of spending time on the ice here for lessons, open skate and even playing hockey at this facility I am well aware that it is managed and run by teenagers. The fact is I am writing this review while sitting on the bleachers because at 38 years old i felt the need to remove myself from the ice during open skate. A group of teens (from lance cruise middle school central) were attempting to jump a single, 13-year-old boy, after making fun of him for struggling to stay on his feet because it was (only) his second time trying to skate. I stepped between them in an attempt to de escalate the situation however the group proceeded to get in MY (adult) face in an attempt to get me to fight THEM (the kids). The packed arena atrium watched as they backed me up to the desk were I demanded they be removed from the facility (as these teens have been removed from the ice multiple times in the weeks proir). The manager (a teen himself) stated that unless they witness them injure someone they would not remove him. That being said there is no control over the crowd and no adults present during open skate. This also makes me question what system is in place if an emergency happens at the arena as there is never a single adult present during evening public events.
