Palm Beach Ice Works

What Palm Beach Ice Works does

Palm Beach Ice Works (PBIW) operates a single Olympic-size ice rink facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving the South Florida region as a multi-purpose skating venue. The facility functions as a brick-and-mortar retail and service location, combining public recreational access with structured sports programming. Core offerings include Olympic-size ice for hockey (multiple travel teams, youth house leagues, stick-and-puck, camps/clinics, lunchtime adult hockey), figure skating (instruction, learn-to-skate curriculum, Skating Club of Florida affiliation, LW Academy), open public skating sessions, and birthday party/event hosting. The facility explicitly markets itself as a safe, clean, family-friendly environment and positions as South Florida's newest Olympic-size rink.

The underlying technology is the physical rink itself — refrigeration plant, dasher boards, and regulation ice surface — supporting both competitive and recreational use. Digital infrastructure consists of a Wix-hosted website (palmbeachiceworks.com / pbiw.org), a JotForm waiver, mailing list capture collecting player demographics, and social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and X. No proprietary software, apps, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are indicated.

Revenue is generated through five streams: usage-based ice time and facility rental (hockey practices, games, private rentals), recurring program and lesson fees (hockey leagues, camps, figure skating instruction, learn-to-skate), transaction-based public skating admissions, one-time birthday party/event booking fees, and advertising/sponsorship sales. GTM is direct-to-consumer via the physical facility, the website, email newsletter, and social channels, with credibility driven by affiliations with USA Hockey, U.S. Figure Skating, and the Skating Club of Florida. Founded by Lori L. Alf (Founder & CEO), the company operates with 11–50 employees and non-profit/private status.
