To Re-Open
NOTE: The purpose of this article is to provide ice rink owners and operators general recommendations as they
develop plans to re-open their business to the public. The recommendations following are not intended or implied
to be mandates or industry standards. Many of these recommendations are based upon current guidelines set

edge surrounding COVID-19 is constantly changing and circumstances are different based on geographic region.
Therefore, the United States Ice Rink Association strongly encourages ice rink owners and operators to adhere to
