MORE THAN JUST ICEIn order to maintain ice yearround, the ice is cooled andchilled by four largecompressors. Maintainingthis balance ensures a safe,smooth, and durable skatingsurface for public use.The ice thickness must be regularly maintained, typically around 1-2 inches forrecreational use, which is managed by flooding the rink with water and thenusing specialized equipment to freeze it in thin layers. The process of wateringthe ice also smooths out imperfections. The original ice arena, built inOctober 1997, has hostedOlympic Speed Skating trialsand various hockey and skatingevents for over 27 years.Maintaining the ice year-roundrequires significant time,expertise, funding, andcommitment. The Facility Maintenance Technicians are all certifiedin driving the ice resurfacer and go through trainingeach year to maintain the ice quality. At the heart ofthis system are chillers, which work alongsidecompressors to circulate a coolant, usually a mix ofbrine or glycol, through pipes embedded in the rinkfloor. A substantial amount of electricity is needed topower these systems, especially the chillers andcompressors, ensuring consistent cooling.Greenheck Turner Community Center offers many opportunities for public iceskating and skate rentals in a variety of sizes. Ice Helpers are available to pushfor those who need extra balance help. Throughout the year, holiday skates,moonlight skates, and camps are available for youth. Skaters from EverestYouth Hockey, Storm Hockey, Blaze Hockey, Timberline Figure Skating,Cyclones Hockey and D.C. Everest Hockey skate year round.
