Our son is in the learning to play hockey level 4! He is learning so much from his coaches who take the time to run drills, individual pointers, and show him their love of the game. He is excited every weekend to get to go and play the game at Rocket Ice. The staff is friendly and will go out of their way to help with anything! Our family loves Rocket Ice!!

I had an employee who was very intoxicated come up to me in a very hostile manner because I was on the “wrong” side of the ice for stick and puck when there were little kids on the opposite side. We wanted to get out of their way because they were having private lessons and were half the size of us. We thought we were doing the safe thing but apparently the extremely high employee believed otherwise. After this I was teamed up on by 2 other employees who were not involved in the situation in the first place. They were also extremely rude and really should not be working in customer service if they are going to act that way around people. They ruined and otherwise solid skate.

The ice rink was clean, not crowded and inexpensive. If you just want to get some extra ice time rocket is the place.

The owners of the facility worked very hard to accommodate half of our school to come in for a skating session. The ice was great and the workers really helped all of the students with their rentals. By far the best rental skates I have seen at any facility as well. Thank you for a great experience!

Skating, hockey, and practicing my hockey skills are all a part of my life. A 71 year old man like me needs to find a way to get strenuous physical activity to keep in good shape and hopefully live a long and healthy life.I love skating at Rocket Ice Arena. Its in a great location for me, its clean, kept up and the employees are friendly and competent. I especially like the great schedule they have for Stick and Puck. I can go there and suit up and skate and practice just about any time I want. Theres no hassle and the ice surface is always kept up in great shape. The locker rooms, bathrooms, and showers are clean and they dont smell bad like other rinks I have gone to. I hate to change into my gear in a place that smells bad. Sometimes I bring my wife along and although she doesnt skate, she can sit in the nice lobby area and wait for me comfortably. She can also watch the skating from an indoor area that is not so cold as sitting on bleachers in the actual arena.So, if you are in the neighborhood and you like to skate, give Rocket Ice a try, and Im sure you will have a great time.

Great family friendly facility! We have skated at Rocket Ice for over 8 years and have always enjoyed the quality time spent at the rink. The rink is very welcoming with a staff always willing to help and make the experience a great one. Keep up the great work and we look forward to many more years of fun on the ice!

Ive been coming to Rocket ice arena now for the past 5 yrs to not only skate myself but especially to bring my son to skate at the stick & puck rocket offers. Its hard to find stick & puck sessions in are area so its great that rocket offers so many to fit any schedule. My son plays sled hockey and loves to get as much ice time as he can to improve his skills. The facility is great,clean and staff is very friendly. All around great experience when skating there.

We had our daughter’s birthday at Rocket Ice. It was a great experience for the girls. We had a teenage girl assigned to assist with us the whole time. That was awesome. She got all the girls on the ice no matter their ability. Definitely recommend.

My family has been coming to Rocket for years- first for open skate, now our son has occasional games there, or will go for private coaching during Stick & Puck. I love that there is so much ice time made available for Stick & Puck! Rocket is a wonderful facility. I look forward to my son attending hockey camp there over the summer!

Rockets is a great family owned establishment with so many skating programs for young and old.My grandson started learn to skate hockey about eight months ago and has worked his way up to level five with the guidance of the Rockets coaching staff.It’s amazing to watch him progress week after week.I also enjoy the stick and puck program at Rockets. It gives this proud 65 year old grandfather some one on one time to skate with his 5 year old grandson in a little competitive hockey.I recommend Rockets Ice to anyone interested in ice skating with that family feel!!!Thank you Rockets and Ed and his family!Vito Pesoli

Rocket Ice is a great family owned rink that we still make the trek to from Chicago (35-45 minute drive). Our kids first learned to skate here a few years ago and continued through the rink’s Learn to Play Hockey program. We still come back for stick and puck when we can. The owner Ed is super welcoming and you can tell he cares about the rink and the people that skate there. This is one of our favorite rinks to skate at.

My family and I have been using Rocket Ice for the last two years. My son started ice skating last winter at the free Woodridge Park District ice rink and showed interest in hockey. We researched the surrounding programs and went with Rocket Ice mainly for the cost and free VIP pass for public skate (for a new skater this was pivotal!!!). He quickly advanced through the program and has fallen in love with the sport and the coaches. My daughter also found interest from watching her brother and is now a competent skater as well. We will be leaving the area in June and this will be one of the places my family will miss the most. Keep up the great work!!!

Rocket is a GREAT facility with a friendly staff. We have been going here for years. We’ve attended open skate, Stick N Puck and private hockey lessons with coach Tom Galvin. All which have been positive experiences for my children.

Review №29

My kids learned how to skate and play hockey here. We have been coming here for 5 years. The coaches ( we have seen many) are great skaters of course, are excellent with kids: they make skating fun, they know how to handle scared 1st time skaters, they care about them, they know their names, they talk to them, they know that it takes practise to learn how to skate.There are always plenty of coaches per class.The rink staff is friendly. We see Ed, the owner, once in a while, saying hello and taking pictures. What a nice guy.The lobbies are great for parents to hang out or watch their kids skate.Plenty of chairs and lots of room.Non-skating siblings can play games or get a snack.We have rinks closer to us, but we like coming here.We also like coming here for Public Skate.

We love Rocket! Great learn to play hockey programs and probably the most stick and puck of any rink in the state. Great place for our 4 year old to have fun and learn the game of hockey.

Review №31

My kids and I all play hockey, so we have been to rinks all over the Midwest. I have to say Rocket is one of our favorites.They have two well maintained sheets of ice, nice sized clean locker rooms, and excellent viewing areas. This includes a second floor balcony that overlooks the ice and is great for watching hockey!Like many rinks in the area Rocket offers several youth hockey and figure skating classes, and they are home to a big name travel hockey program (the Sabers). But what really sets Rocket apart from the other guys is their extra, more unique programs. This includes summer camps (my boys loved the Triple S camps), convenient Rat hockey times, a 40 and over Rat hockey session, a 50 and over hockey league, adult hockey lessons, and more Stick & Puck sessions than any other rink in the area.The adult hockey lessons are pretty cool. There are usually a mix of beginners and more experienced skaters, but it’s always a great workout. The Stick & Puck is my favorite because I get a chance to skate with my younger guys. They love it!

The rocket ice arena is one of the best ice rinks in the southwest suburbs. The rocket ice arena holds many activities ranging from youth hockey to free style skating, and more. A personal favorite activity of mine is Stick and Puck as the extra ice time has allowed me to progress my career at a friendly price and goalies get in for free. Also the atmosphere is very calming ,and most of the people around the rink are friendly.

A comfortable rink. Great for stick and puck or open skate. During heavy times they have both rinks open so you can go to the other during resurfacing. Ice is in good condition.

The people at Rocket Ice gave my girlfriend and I an incredible experience alone together on the ice. Though Im a new skater, she always has been great since she was a kid and this gave her a chance to have a great time skating again. She always told me that she loved to ice skate and wished she could have the rink alone one day and Rocket Ice was able to provide the perfect dream for both of us. Great service, staff, and experiences at Rocket Ice!

Review №37

Nice standard size rink. We brought our own skates but the looks of the rentals seemed good.There were a ton of people there on the Sunday afternoon we went, but that number can vary any given day Im sure.But it is SO LOUD in the rink with the music blasting. It was difficult to have a conversation with someone in there - which I get they dont want people just standing on the ice talking to each other- but they could lower the music by several decibels.

Rocket Ice is my young sons home ice. Since January, 2016, he has enjoyed the Learn to Skate program and the Learn to Play Hockey classes. All of his instructors have been top notch professionals. He also appreciated and greatly benefitted from the countless sessions of open public skate while enrolled in the Learn programs. We have now entered the Sabre Hockey organization family. The entire staff at Rocket Ice is wonderful and courteous. The more time you spend at the facility, the more appreciation you gain with its home-like feel. We also greatly appreciate and utilize the open public skate and Stick and Puck sessions that are purposely made available when the local area schools are not in session during the school year.

This place is great! We hosted our daughters birthday party here and it was a no brainer. They handled pizza, cupcakes, decorations and favors. It was one of the most fun parties weve ever had. All the staff were so friendly- I exchanged skate sizes about 7 times and never once felt like I was bothering the fella in charge of the skates. Our party planner, Danielle, was super friendly over the phone each time we connected. Our party hostess, Kaleigh, was awesome with the kids and great with our party. Even the owner himself, Ed, skated on the ice to help gather our guests who wandered and group them for a fun picture he took himself! Its a party my daughter is still talking about and were trying to find a reason to host another one there soon. Highly recommend!!!

Very awesome! My daughter is a Sabre and loves skating here! Staff are very kind. Cant be more happy with service. Only bad thing is that birthdays make it so crowded. Ice is good and staff are funny and generous. Pubic skate is scheduled perfectly and not too overcrowded. Cant wait for the next practice or public skate!

The Rocket Ice Arena employees are always serving us with a smile. They are willing to do all that they can to make sure our experience with them is a good one. The management is 5 star!What a great place to take our students each and every year, so that they can enjoy time spent with their classmates, their parents, and their teachers.We are 5 minutes away, so that is a very important convenience for us. The students look forward to this trip every year during our Catholic Schools Week celebration.We are blessed to have a place that we can call home. Their generosity surpasses all that we could every imagine!Thank you Rocket Ice Arena! We cant wait until next January! Keep up the great work!!!!!!With Blessings,Mrs. Palermo3rd Grade TeacherSt. Dominic SchoolBolingbrook

We LOVE Rocket Ice arena! This place is such a gem in Bolingbrook. We absolutely love the open skate, and my husband loves playing with his guys there. We recently had a birthday party there and it was SO much fun!!!! The rink was connected to our party room and the guests had a blast. For an ice rink, its actually a very nice setup for parties. The Rocket team was extremely helpful before, during and after the party which I was so grateful for. The owner, Ed, was very helpful with helping arrange things so our guests had the best possible time. We will definitely be back for more events and parties, and will continue having our fun at open skates!!

I had a very pleasant experience with Rocket Ice! Planning our event could not have been any easier! The party rooms are so conveniently close to the ice and it made for a great party setup. Every staff memeber we encountered was so kind and able to assist in any way we needed. This rink is so worth visiting for an open skate, or taking lessons! Thank you to everyone there for making my experience so memorable!

Rocket Ice Arena has provided my son and his friends so many opportunities to not only have fun, but develop as hockey players. The facility is spacious and comfortable for the families to come and enjoy the game and socialize while the kids are engaged in activities on the ice. Ed Schroeder and his family are so kind and welcoming and make you feel like you are a part of their family. Thanks!!

Review №53

Attended a Stick and puck and payed $11 for the skate. As I got on I noticed coaches from the rink are also doing 1on1 training. I’ve been here multiple times throughout the week as they always have it Monday - Friday.Each time I see about 3-7 kids being coached and they take up half the ice if not more. This does not leave a lot of ice for you to skate around and shoot. This is something that needs to be written down on the schedule to make sure the skaters are aware there is 1 on 1 coaching going on and they take up more then half the ice. Very frustrating. It’s gotten worse each time. Done attending stick and puck.

Rocket is great! This family owned rink offers convenient public skate times, a family friendly environment, and makes skating super fun for kids! Theyre one of the only rinks around that has skating gliders for little ones. At 63, my husband played hockey all his life, but stopped when things with our four kids got too hectic. He started skating again on a weekly basis last year for exercise and plans his weekends around the public skate at Rocket !!

Cant say enough great things about Rocket Ice. We have been doing figure skating for our daughter and hockey for our son for the last year. Hockey coaches are amazing with the kids. So patient and devoted to their growth and skill development. Same for the figure skating coaches as well. This is not the closest rink to our house but, wouldnt want to go anywhere else after our experience. Would highly recommend.

We love Ice Skating so much. We had to Check our daughter into a eating disorder place. We went ice skating the night before. Rocket Ice Rink helped our daughter forget for that moment about her eating disorder. She had alot of fun. When she got discharged, we went back to Rocket Ice Arena. it is wonderful there to ice skate. it looks very inviting, and welcoming. To us it looked like a ski lodge but for ice skating. Im glad because I hate downhill skiing and love ice skating.Rocket Ice Arena Rocks!!!

Review №75

By far the best rink around. From the ice conditions, to the cleanliness, to the concessions, to the staff from Zamboni driver to Owner this place is heads and tails above the rest. It takes many different people to run an organization like they have and I have to say that the staff is about as dialed in as you can get. My son is 3 and we go open skating every Saturday and Sunday. The place is ROCKIN! If you have been to open skate at other rinks and you havent been here YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Every time we are their we have a great time- and let me tell you its because of the People. The staff goes out of their way to care- the world needs more good people like the Team at Rocket! Whatever you are doing keep it up!
