North Carolina is not a state you associate with ice — which makes it stranger and better that Wake Forest has two NHL-regulation rinks running year-round.
Polar Ice House covers the entire skating life cycle: public sessions for the casual crowd, Learn to Skate for ages three and up with no experience necessary, Learn to Play hockey at every age, figure skating, open hockey, the Polar Hurricanes youth house league, a full adult hockey league, and year-round Camp Chillin for the school-break weeks.
The reach goes well beyond town — recreational skaters, figure skaters, and hockey families from across Wake Forest and north Raleigh treat it as the area's ice headquarters, and its birthday party packages have their own following.
Every kid deserves one improbable skill. Around here, ice skating is available three exits up Capital.
Schedules, programs, and registration are on their directory listing.
