Guest & Player Behavioral Guidelines:

We are committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience at the ice arena for all guests and players. Guests and/or players exhibiting inappropriate behavior (i.e. using foul or abusive language, making abusive gestures, or appearing intoxicated) are subject to ejection from the arena. Repeat offenses will result in the loss of arena privileges, including teams not being able to use the arena. If you observe a problem, please contact an arena staff member or public safety officer immediately. To assist with this endeavor, guests and players are asked to abide by the following Behavioral Guidelines:

  • Guests should not take any action that inhibits the progress of any game or event.

  • Guests and players should avoid the use of foul, racist, sexist, abusive language, and refrain from making any obscene gestures.

  • Guests should refrain from any display of inappropriate affection in a public setting.

  • Only authorized individuals may enter the ice surface and other restricted areas, and guests must refrain from entering such areas without proper authorization.

  • Guests should follow all local, state, or federal laws and will follow the instructions of event staff.
