## About

Located at the Northgate Station transit hub, the state-of-the-art Kraken Community Iceplex serves as the official practice facility of the NHL Seattle Kraken and a bustling public recreation hub. Three regulation NHL-sized ice rinks host daily public family skate sessions on pristine, laser-leveled ice where kids can skate on the very sheets used by professional hockey stars.

For toddlers and early learners, friendly ride-on seal skate aids can be rented to provide sturdy stability and seated pushes on the ice. The facility features the warm 32 Bar & Grill overlooking the ice sheets, an expansive Starbucks community lounge, modern locker rooms, and direct pedestrian walkway access to the Northgate light rail station.
