Northwell Health Ice Center

What Northwell Health Ice Center does

Northwell Health Ice Center is a three-sheet ice sports facility located at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York, operated by Twin Rinks Acquisition Company LLC. The venue comprises two NHL-size indoor rinks plus an outdoor dek rink in approximately 175,000 square feet and serves more than 500,000 annual visitors across roughly 95 home teams. It functions as the official practice facility of the NHL's New York Islanders and carries a naming-rights partnership with Northwell Health, New York's largest integrated health system.

The facility operates a multi-program business model spanning public skating sessions, learn-to-skate curricula, youth and adult hockey leagues, summer camps, private lessons, ice rental, and an off-ice training/rehabilitation stack that includes i3E Gym and STARS Rehabilitation. Pricing is structured per-program — $16 public admission, $230 learn-to-skate semester, $315 youth hockey registration, $675 house league, and $650 full-day camp — with additional revenue from 95+ tenant teams and a multi-sponsor commercial partnership base. Affiliations with USA Hockey, NYSAHA, Learn to Skate USA, U.S. Figure Skating, PAL Jr. Islanders, and the Bridgeport Islanders, together with the Future Islanders Learn to Play (NHL/NHLPA) initiative, embed the facility within the regional hockey player-development pipeline. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, consistent with a facility-operator scale rather than a corporate enterprise.

Go-to-market is anchored by Long Island's geographic scarcity of dual NHL-size rinks and reinforced by the Islanders' brand halo and Northwell Health's healthcare-system sponsorship. There is no disclosed technology platform beyond standard scheduling, POS, and league-management tooling, and no AI/ML, funding history, or M&A activity is referenced in the available data; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
