  • Be Understanding
    - We want everyone to be able to enjoy FTK Ice Center this winter.
    - We also know that things don't always go according to plan. If for any reason we need to cancel we will do our best to contact you at least 2 hours before your rental time.
    - Rink statuses will be posted on our Dekes & Dangles Facebook page (@DekesDangles). Please follow, like & share our page.
    - If repairs need to take place prior to or during your ice rental; we will make up the time to ensure you get your full ice time. Groups may have to wait a moment and any additional assistance at that time would be greatly appreciated.

    - Goalie Nets/Goals; we do have full set goalie nets and pond hockey goals available.

    - $125/hr (Individual Ice Rental)

    - Venmo: @SilverPuckChallenge (Digit Code if needed: 6018)
  • Process
    - Begin getting ready while the previous rental is on the ice. The cabin should be empty and ready for your group.
    - Once you are ready to skate; please collect ALL of your belongings and place them in your hockey bag and set them outside on the hockey bag racks. Please do not leave any items behind.
    - Please wait patiently for the previous group to clean/clear and vacate the ice and bench areas; if the ice is empty feel free to start enjoying your ice time a little early. Please do not go onto the ice surface until given approval from a FTK Ice Center associate.
    - Please make room for the renters leaving the ice surface to collect their hockey bags/items from the hockey bag racks and entering the cabin to change back into civilian attire.

  • Ice/Facility Clean up
    - Everyone is responsible for post skate/ice clean up.
    - Use shovels to remove the snow from the ice surface to the east side (non-bench side) of the ice surface. Remove any snow/ice from the bench side as well. We want to keep the walkways as cleared as possible.
    - Clear the deck/bench area of ALL of your equipment.
    - Search for pucks. This can be done once everyone has changed from their equipment/skates.
    - An FTK Ice Center associate will let you know when you are all set to collect your hockey bags/items and return to the cabin to change back into civilian attire.
    - Please pick up ALL debris in the cabin prior to leaving. Do your best to leave the cabin in better condition than you arrived.
    - Please double check the cabin and make sure you do not leave anything behind.
