TASMANIA’S ice sports community is rallying together following confirmation that the state’s only ice rink will close. The Glenorchy rink, which has been operating for more than 40 years, has recently been sold and will likely be repurposed by the new owners.

skating athletes have no local future in their sport and our young people have lost a place of community connection,” she said. “Come 21 May, all of them will be left without a place to train, compete and play together.” Ice Sports Tasmania is working to secure the future of ice sports in the state by pushing for a new full-sized facility.
