Extreme Ice Center

super good quality ice rink, i love coming here to ice skate and watch my sisters hockey games, everybody is really friendly and nice. and the food is amazing especially the ice chai tea

Our family love extreme ice center a lot! My kids enjoining skating, stuff and amazing rings! Definitely recommend this place to spend a wonderful time! ❤️❤️❤️

Great birthday party experience

We attended a Special Olympics event at the ice rink. This rink has some great amenities, on par with rinks up north. The skate shop has some impressive features and product offerings. A great coffee shop for an ice rink, a restaurant and bar on the upper level wasn’t open, but looked appealing for hockey and other events. Part of the stadium seating was out of commission when we visited and the pull out stands were a little shaky. A great place to host an event and the facility met our needs well.

Very nice setup for watching games. Food, beer, and service are top-notch

Both my girls learned to skate here. The program and coaches were engaging and knew how to get the kids moving. Now 3 years later we are a part of the girls hockey program and still love this rink and staff.

Terrible. I came and this place was having birthday parties left and right and it was jam packed. For TWENTY dollars. When you bring your OWN SKATES. I get on the ice and kids are running into me people are spinning and zooming inbetween people this is absolutely crazy. No one is regulating this. There were figure skaters doing huge tricks during a public ice session. We would have come a different day if there was an announcement the ice would be having multiple parties but nope nothing.We made a TWO HOUR drive to come here. Money draining and incredibly unsafe. Terrible place. It was our choice to come on a Saturday but it would have been nice to know that events would be running and to have said events be done so SAFELY.

Visiting Charlotte from Canada, we were impressed by this facility. It beats any arena here and the exterior is beautiful.

Nice place an cool grill upstairs

Staff was very helpful

If you are planning to use this rink to skate leisurely, Extreme will serve your purpose. However, unless they make some serious management changes, this facility is not equipped to accommodate serious figure skaters who wish to be at any competitive level, much less Olympic level and it seems that they couldn’t care less about it which is the most unfortunate part.

Honestly, it hurts me to say that Extreme used to be our second home but the figure skating director and the owner/owner’s husband (the general manager) GREATLY failed a majority of the figure skaters, their families and the coaches that passionately taught their students.

Needless to say, the owner and her husband seem to be wanting to prioritize and focus on their hockey team and therefore not interested in improving the figure skating experience. Such a pity.

The owners should rename this rink to “Extreme Circus” because they have once again proven to be a bunch of clowns. What kind of incompetent management thinks it’s a good idea to fire their most skilled and respected coaches leaving an experience gap that can be detrimental to student progress and advancement?

Parents and skaters alike were blindsided by this decision. Programs that kids have dedicated themselves to for years were suddenly erased without warning, leaving families scrambling for alternatives. This will only push students and prospective skaters away to other more distant rinks further exacerbating the issue.

This disaster is exactly what happens when nepotism-fueled management takes over instead of actual professionals who know what they’re doing. The rink is on a downward spiral and needs immediate reform.

Very corrupt management and horrible effort upon students…

I would give this rink a zero if I had this option. The poor management fired multiple top-level coaches without any explanations to the athletes or the parents. They don’t care how the skaters experience or their competitions. All about politics. The existing coaches yell at kids if they are close to the coach. They can be as rude as they want to. If you want to go there for a lesson. You better ask Brendon Logon’s favorite coach so that you won’t lose that coach! Otherwise, you will lose your coach half way of your competition, because they don’t care about the athletes or skaters’s results! The best advise will be stay away from this toxic rink!

If I could give this rink a zero, I would. The figure skating program, once the best in the area, has recently made the decision to fire all of the top-level coaches without warning to coaches and without explanation to parents and athletes. Nearly all of the accolades Extreme Ice Center has in figure skating came from the students of Mathew Gates, Sasha Zaretsky, Kelly Gates, and Vitaliy Danylchenko--World Champions, Olympians, and National Champions. The current figure skating director Jenny Gwynn and the acting general manager Brendan Logan are poor facility managers and even poorer communicators with weak conflict resolution skills. I would think twice about enrolling in any figure skating programming as the directors have disrespected multiple coaches and athletes who have been training for national and world championships without warning or justification. If they treat top level employees this poorly, you can bet they will also treat your athletes/children with same level of disrespect. I highly recommend looking elsewhere even for Learn to Skate and Hockey because mismanagement knows no bounds and it affects all programming under the direction of an immature, intemperate, poorly prepared, and petty management
