I really like this facility. The small studio rink is a nice touch. There's a proshop there as well. The main rink has a high ceilings and a big center ice scoreboard. Dont know of any other rinks on the Northside with that. There is ample seating for fans, looks like some kind of 2nd floor bar viewing area(haven't been up there). The rink is well lit which as a goalie i really appreciate. The main drawback is that the lines on the ice are so faded. Ivr seen refs using markers to mark faceoff dots so that there in the same spot every time, and offsides is impossible to judge. Need to melt the rink down and repaint if this rink is to be taken seriously, especially if competitive youth teams are playing there. I want to say its some kind of safety issue, not sure. Just seems like the rink maintenance is very cosmetic in nature. If this rink wants to get to be a premier rink in chicagoland (which I think it could), the ice has to be the main priority.

Freezing cold and the 1930s vending machine ripped me off and so did the drink machine. I think Northbrook can probably do a little better...
