## About

Located in Maryland Heights, the Centene Community Ice Center is a state-of-the-art $83 million facility featuring four refrigerated ice sheets, serving as the official practice home of the NHL's St. Louis Blues. Families can skate on the same pristine ice sheets used by professional hockey players during scheduled daily public skating sessions throughout the winter.

Beginning youth skaters benefit from sturdy skate trainers and walker supports that make learning balance safe and fun. The complex features heated spectator bleachers, full locker rooms, clean ADA family restrooms with baby changing stations, and the 314 Social restaurant overlooking the ice. Skate rentals range from toddler double-runners through adult sizes, and rental helmets are available upon request for beginning children.
