Lots of hockey dads yelling. Usually it's the hockey moms that make me want to put a 12 guage in my mouth, but this time it was the dads. It was a big ole group of them too. All they did the whole game was wine and moan about perfectly fine calls the refferees were making. One auditions man even had the nerve to shout profanities at the off coming players. Another quite boisterous hockey dad was bald but had lots of flow coming from the side of his head, like a fryer or monk who hasn't cut his hair. I personally think that hockey parents in general should not be allowed from the confines of their holes in which they live, drink beer, eat pretzels, and watch footage of their children pretending they are professionals. The rink was nice.

The place was very clean and the instructor was super nice and helped everyone even kids with disabilities. The food was amazing and made everyone feel very comfortable. I had a great amount of fun watching my grandchildren out on the ice having fun with the other children and instructor.

Free Skate was cancelled today without notifying the park district which had planned to send multiple summer camp groups for today's skate time. All of the kids were turned away. At least three full busloads of children (high capacity big buses) were disappointed by this lack of communication. I was disappointed for them as well, as they were so excited when we arrived, and so crushed when they came right back out minutes later.

Some staff is very rude. I don't know the role of Chris Heiser but certainly she will screw up the business of glacier, which are agreed by many parents after I talked to other people. Horrible experience with her: 1) we paid our ice fee to go in for our coach classes but she stopped my kids for no reason and so kids were late for the classes, 2) every time she seemed funny and called my kids' name purposely in funny way even after multiple-round corrections and didn't care kids' feeling, 3) we love our coaches there but every time my kids feel bad as she is a rude person there to the kids.

The ice rink had been going through its free skate period with no zamboni so the ice was very rough and hard to skate on later in the evening. There was no music during the free skate, even after requesting it twice. There was however sub par live music playing way too loudly in the lobby. Also, there were no staff members on the ice to mediate poor public skating behavior, someone in my party for knocked over twice because of rowdy behavior. Not a great experience here.

A great place for some ice skating fun. They have walkers for those that are still learning to skate. They do get busy during weekend open skate, so it's a good idea to get there as soon as it starts. There is a concession stand and snack area if you need a quick bite.
