The Rinks - Lakewood ICE

What The Rinks - Lakewood ICE does

The Rinks - Lakewood ICE is a community ice sports facility located at 3975 Pixie Avenue in Lakewood, California, operated by The Rinks Foundation as one of eight facilities in the Southern California Rinks network. The facility operates three core program verticals: public ice skating for recreational visitors, figure skating instruction (Learn to Skate, Skating Academy, freestyle sessions, private lessons, and competitive high-performance camps), and hockey programming spanning youth (Hockey Initiation, Rec Leagues, Skills Clinics), adult leagues and development, and elite tiers such as Top Flight Ice Hockey and All-World Summer Camps.

The facility monetizes through a diversified mix of usage-based ice time rentals, recurring program enrollments, seasonal camps, private lessons, and tournament registration. Customer transactions are processed through the Daysmart Recreation online booking and membership management platform, while LiveBarn provides live streaming for remote viewing of practices and games. Curriculum and certification alignment with Learn to Skate USA and USA Hockey standardize the instructional offering.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer via on-site participation, walk-in public sessions, and online booking. Programming is anchored by a strategic affiliation with the NHL's Anaheim Ducks, which powers the Jr. Ducks and Lady Ducks youth hockey development pathway and lends brand credibility that has translated into former participants being drafted to the NHL and committing to Division I collegiate programs. The facility operates within the parent Rinks network alongside Anaheim ICE, KHS ICE, Poway ICE, Yorba Linda ICE, and Great Park Ice, plus inline rinks in Corona and Irvine.
