Where We Train

Our Facility

A dedicated goalie training space inside Northford Ice Pavilion — available seven days a week, year-round.

Location

Inside Northford Ice Pavilion

Our facility is located within the red rink at the Northford Ice Pavilion, above the locker rooms.

To get to the facility, walk behind the team benches to the grey door leading to our hallway. We have a small locker room on the right-hand side for clients to get ready. All goalies should get fully dressed — including skates — and walk up the stairs to the Crease.

The Surface

Premium Synthetic Ice

We train on PolyGlide synthetic ice tiles — a high-performance plastic surface that mimics the feel and glide of real ice. Goalies can skate, slide, and move just like they would on a real rink.

Because we don't depend on ice availability, we can offer training 7 days a week at a reasonable cost — no waiting for open ice time.

Skates and pads glide naturally on the surface
Will not ruin skates — may dull slightly faster than ice
Available year-round, no seasonal blackouts
On-ice lessons available depending on rink availability
