Ice Hockey for Adults does not always have to be that expensive, when you compare it to Golf for instance. It will get you alot fitter, you don't have to go around fighting your components all the time too.

At our local rink you can play on the main arena for just £7.00 per session, which isn't bad as you will find it hard to play on any professional football club's pitch for that amount, or even get the chance to play on it at all.

Recreational Ice Hockey

For a new entry level full protection kit you can be looking at around £350.00. Sticks start at about £15.00, socks £10.00, Tops from £30.00 and ice skates start around £50.00. So compare this to a new set of Golf clubs and clothing and shoes its not that bad and is a good comparsion to put to your partner if yu have to negotiate the outlay.

If you've never been to a Ski Resort in the Mountains in Europe and North America you may be under the impression ice rinks go hand in hand and every resort has a rink.  Most have small open air rinks however to have a indoor rink or arena you require a local user base to keep it a float doing the long out of season duration.  You mainly find the indoor rinks in the larger villages and towns in the mountains where the residential population can support a facility of this size.

Whilst on our Skiing/Snowboarding holidays around the various Resorts we have tried to watch a local game of Ice Hockey or have a quick go on the ice skates at the rink .

Switzerland

Davos

Vaillant Arena, Davos

We struck lucky with the timing when we went to Davos in Switzerland on year we managed to get tickets for the Swiss top league home leg semi final in the cup.  The stadium was very impressive with its laminated timber volted roof, it had standing at either end which gave it an electric atmosphere. It was just like being on the terraces at one our football matches before the Uk made all League Clubs have seating only stadiums.

This is where they hold the infamous Spengler Cup every year which has been going since 1923 and is thought to be oldest inventational ice hockey tournament in the world.  It is normally held every year between Christmas and New Year, so if you want to book a skiing holiday and like a ice hockey game or two then Davos would be an ideal location.  The ski area is as excellent as the ice rink facilities.

This complex has one of the largest outdoor ice rinks in Europe, Curling lanes were available for hire too.
