More About Ice Sports
Why do we like skating and sled hockey?
The Kotler Ice Arena is a very accessible venue. The staff are responsive, inviting and fun. The warm viewing area, ramps, dressing rooms and restrooms are accessible for everyBODY! Hockey is efficient. You can be on ice in 10 minutes or take your time to get on ice, skate, sled, pass the puck, shoot and break a sweat (you’re seldom cold when you’re out on the ice). Our sessions are 60-90 minutes.
What does skating and sled hockey at Kotler Ice Arena look like?
VAS and Kotler has a variety of equipment. Rental figure skates, hockey skates and sled equipment are available so everyBODY can get on ice. We have 10 sleds in a variety of sizes for ages 2+. Pusher walkers are available to aid stand up skaters. Everyone in the program is provided helmet, gloves and elbow pads. As the photo depicts, we learn from square one how to get up if you fall down!
Who Makes Sled Hockey Possible?
Teton Valley Foundation and the Kotler Ice Arena Staff work hard to make skating and hockey fun and available for the Teton Valley Community. The amazing capital campaign to install “chillers” at the rink in 2018 allows for a predictable 17 weeks of solid ice. Valley Adaptive Sports supports the Inclusive Ice and Sled Hockey Program. For 2025, your donations via the CFTV Tin Cup Challenge have funded our ice time. Special thanks to the awesome volunteer crew who make the ice time fun. If you have a passion for skating, please volunteer, or come out and try a sled!
