Boca Ice

What Boca Ice does

Boca Ice operates a 73,000-75,000 square foot dual-rink indoor ice facility at 900 Peninsula Corporate Circle in Boca Raton, Florida, opened in January 2022 after groundbreaking in April 2021. The facility features two NHL-size ice sheets and serves as the newest indoor ice rink in South Florida. Its core offering spans public skating, LED ice bumper cars with interactive laser targets, an indoor Alpine ski/snowboard training machine, a full hockey development pathway (Boca Babies through Florida Kings travel hockey), figure skating programs, multi-day camps, and corporate/private event hosting for groups of 50-300+ guests.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with bookings routed through the DaySmart Recreation platform and Booksy for ski lessons, supplemented by direct sales for corporate and private events. Pricing is primarily transaction-based for recreational use ($18 public skate, $10 bumper car rides) and subscription/session-based for instructional programs (Learn to Skate 8-week sessions at $240, Boca Barracudas youth hockey registration at $895). Customer segments are diversified across families, youth and adult hockey players, figure skaters, corporate event planners, and ski/snowboard enthusiasts, with partnerships extending to USA Hockey, Florida Kings Hockey Club, and local caterers.

The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership, funding, or financial data. Its competitive position is anchored by the geographic scarcity of indoor ice in South Florida, the multi-year hockey development pipeline that locks in lifetime customer value, and unique attractions (LED bumper cars, alpine ski machine) unavailable at conventional rinks in the region.
