The New York Islanders have built two public pond hockey rinks outside of UBS Arena that will host 4-on-4 tournaments and "learn to play" clinics in conjunction with USA Hockey.

One rink will have natural ice for 4-on-4 youth and adult teams to hold games and tournaments. The other rink will have synthetic ice, ensuring season-long accessibility, and will cater to community programs that offer the fundamentals of hockey and skating to all age groups and skill levels.

Both rinks will offer 90-minute public skate sessions. They'll be part of The Park at UBS Arena, a 155,800-square-foot, season-long outdoor experience that will feature a beer garden and a "VIP Igloo Garden.
