Cantiague’s indoor ice skating rink is used by recreational skaters and hockey teams. The rink has also played host to Olympic gold medalists such as Nancy Kerrigan in 2004 and served as the practice facility for the New York Islanders from 1979 to 1992.
Ice skating sessions take place daily and birthday parties may also be arranged during public sessions.
