Whitley Bay
Ice Rink
Whitley Bay Ice Rink is also committed to providing
young people with a chance to get involved in ice
hockey and a number of team’s benefit from its use.
In total five junior sides (Mischiefs, Arrows, Mohawks,
Tomahawks and Braves) play there, as well as a girl’s
team known as the Squaws. It is also used by two
University sides under the names the Northumbria
Kings and the Newcastle Wildcats.
The incredible amount of team’s that use the facility
helps to demonstrate what an important part of the
local community the ice rink is. Getting juniors involved
with the facility should ensure that it is able to continue
with the good work that it has been doing long into the
future.
It is this commitment to providing visitors with the
best experience possible that has allowed for high
profile events to be hosted in the past including WWE
Wrestling events. It also used to host a number of
music concerts.
Whitley Bay Ice Rink is clearly a venue that provides a
lot of people with a chance to enjoy activities that would
otherwise be unavailable to them. Hopefully they will be
able to continue in the same manner for many years to
come and everyone at Sport in Profile Magazine would
like to take this opportunity to congratulate the people
involved for what they have achieved.
Aside from Ice Hockey the facility is able to host a
number of different events such as skating sessions,
birthday parties and disco parties. This has the
potential to provide the ice rink with a valuable source
of additional revenue which is particularly important in
the current financial climate.
It is committed to providing the best facilities possible
and this was reflected by the fact that it undertook
several improvements in 2008 with new barriers,
plexi glass and bench doors for hockey players being
installed.
