Ice Summit at Event Center Has Building Set for New Season

The ice is ready for a new season at the Fishers Event Center!

The newly built ice follows the recent Legends Global 2025 Operations Ice Summit which the Fishers Event Center hosted earlier this month to learn and share best practices for ice building and maintenance for the wide variety of events and changeovers in the coming season. Proper ice management ensures Fishers Event Center runs efficiently as it prepares for its fall and winter season, and provides a superior competition site for hockey ahead of the start of the Indy Fuel’s 12th season on Thursday, Oct. 17 (tickets and schedule information at indyfuelhockey.com). During the three-day “Ice Summit,” the venue crew prepped, painted, installed logos, and built the ice while spending time attending classes and reviewing best practices to install and maintain ice along with attendees from venues across the country.  Attendees learned from top ice vendors in the nation including Jet Ice, Mid America Rink Services, Zamboni, CIMCO and Athletica. The schedule included various classes on ice installation, logo installation, refrigeration, a Zamboni mini boot camp and more.

Participating venues from across the country included Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum, Florence Center, BMO Center, Meridian Centre, Adventist Health Arena & Oak Park Ice Rink, Pechanga Arena, North Charleston Coliseum, Peoria Civic Center, Worcester Ice Center, Boch Ice Center, Essex Sports Center, RI Sports Center, Mark Bavis Sports Complex, Boston Sports Institute, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and Thunder Ridge Nature Arena.
