Open skate at Big Boy Arena

No open skate times posted online

Big Boy Arena does not post open skate times online. Call 586-294-2400 before you go.

Checked Oct 21, 2026 against bigboyarena.com. Open skate times are posted only in the arena's EZFacility booking calendar (bigboyarena.ezfacility.com/Sessions), which did not return sessions without a login. Rink says the calendar mixes all public skate types, so check which type is listed, and check in at the front desk on arrival.

Big Boy Arena runs drop-in hockey, but the weekly times are not posted in a form we can read.

Price: $20, goalies free
Gear: helmet, gloves, skates, stick; bring pucks
Sign-up: prepay online
