Though I was thrilled for the return of Stars on Ice, I had a little sense of sadness in me as I drove to Hershey, knowing that this could be the last time I see skaters who I have had the joy of covering since early in their career. It is something that happens after every Olympic cycle. But I tried to diminish those thoughts and just focus on celebrating this Olympic season, which itself was a long season that included moments of immense joy and utter heartbreak and desperation.
So if you have the opportunity to see one of the remaining Stars on Ice shows, please do! It is a great opportunity to see your favorite Olympic programs in-person, as well as see your favorite skaters for what could possibly be the last time.

In artistic roller skating there are four levels before you reach competition level. Some people can get there in four years or less, and some people take longer. If you are aiming to become a professional artistic roller skater, you should take all of the time that you need until you are ready. Everyone is different.

Please Note:
The average temperature inside the rink is 56 degrees. The Ice Den encourages skaters and spectators to dress accordingly for warmth and safety. Helmets, socks, mitts/gloves and other equipment is recommended. Hockey sticks and pucks will not be permitted on the ice during public skating sessions.
Ice Den public skate sessions are 2-hours in length, unless otherwise posted with a 20-minute intermission. Dates and times are subject to change - please review the current published calendar. Skate trainers are available to rent for a fee and can be used at these family friendly sessions.
Over 800 pairs of ice hockey and figure skates are available to rent for your skating pleasure. Skate sizes range from Toddler size 6 through Adult size 15. Skates are not available in half sizes, if between sizes it is recommended to size down. Please note, due to skater volume on highly attended sessions, skate sizes are not guaranteed to be available. All skaters are encouraged to arrive early to ensure proper skate size availability.
To assist some of our younger and beginner skaters, the Ice Den provides a limited number of skate trainers for public skating sessions*. The fee to rent a Skate Trainer is $5 payable at the Administration Desk. The skater will receive a wristband to show a member of the Guest Services staff identified by bright yellow uniforms to retrieve the trainer.
For safety reasons, only the weight of the child should be placed on the trainer. Adults should only assist the child and avoiding putting their weight on the trainer. While using the trainer, please demonstrate proper use, common sense, and courtesy to all patrons. Misuse of a skate trainer will result in loss of privilege.
Like many businesses the Ice Dens are understaffed as we navigate ongoing labor and supply chain disruptions. As a result our public skate sessions have been modified. Our team is short-handed, please be kind and respectful to the staff who are working the event for your entertainment and follow staff instructions, posted signs and policies.
Customer safety is a priority at the Ice Den. To ensure the public skating sessions as safe as possible for all participants, we prohibit jumps and spins during these sessions. Advanced skaters wanting to practice jumps, spins, leg lifts and any other advanced skating techniques are encouraged to attend the 20-30 weekly freestyle skating sessions that are offered to practice these maneuvers.

Bont Skates was founded in Sydney in 1975 when Inze Bont, a recreational short track ice speed skater decided to fiberglass the back of his leather speed skates to gain more support. Bont quickly became the world's largest producer of ice speed skates and then branched out into inline speed skates, quad speed skates, roller derby skates, and long track speed skates. Bont was the first footwear manufacturer to use exotic material like fiberglass in 1974, Kevlar in 1986 and Carbon Fiber in 1989, and the first to use heat moldable resins and thermoplastics. Bont was also the first company to use adjustable ice blades and remains the world's largest producer of speed skates and custom speed skates.
Bont Skates is famous for pioneering every major boot advancement adopted by other skate manufacturers in the industry today. Bont was the first footwear manufacturer to use materials like fiberglass in 1974, Kevlar in 1986 and Carbon Fiber in 1989, and the first to use heat moldable resins and thermoplastics. Bont Skates invented heat moldable boots and was the first ice skate company to make skates where the blade and frame could be adjusted on the boot. Bont was the first skate company to use lace covers, velcro, and aluminum strengtheners in the boots. We push the limits of technology in ice speed skates, short track skates, roller skates, inline speed skates, and roller derby skates to help you perform at your best.
We source our carbon exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The carbon base of Bont inline skate boots is made by hand by sandwiching different types of carbon. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The carbon is embedded with epoxy thermosetting resin.
Unlike most brands of inline skates, Bont exclusively uses closed cell memory foam in our skate production. Most brands of inline skates use open-cell foam which is cheaper and absorbs water. Closed-cell foam does not absorb your sweat or water that you may skate through. This keeps your inline skates free of moisture.
Formulating a resin for inline skates and inline speed skates that is super stiff yet becomes moldable at low temperatures and has a fast cure time is critical for our unique requirement which is why we are probably the only inline skate manufacturer who develops our own resins in-house. Our resin becomes soft at just 60C (140F) which is the lowest in the industry. Once you heat the resin, mold the boot, and let it set, it is permanently set without the need to remold the skate. You can also reheat the skate's resin as many times as you like. The temperature of the air and the amount of humidity are critical in determining the amount of hardener that needs to be added to the skate's resin. That is why we have a computer that mixes the skate's resin and hardener together and dispenses the resin after measuring the air temperature and humidity. Most manufacturers use a process known in the industry as pre-preg. This is where the resin is "pre-impregnated" into the carbon fiber. In virtually all applications, the resin is chosen by the carbon fiber manufacturer, not by the skate manufacturer. The inline skate manufacturer has no way of altering the resin to meet the heat moldability requirements of modern skates and that is why they require very high temperatures to make the skates slightly heat moldable.
Bont Skate's method of producing our high-end inline skates and inline speed skates a method we call One-Piece Construction. This process is far more skill-intensive, time-consuming and thus resulting in far greater costs than the current mainstream inline speed skate construction method, but one that allows the Bont range of inline skates to lead the market in performance. A two-piece boot is made when the base is pre-made and then the liner and outer skin are glued onto the base. Much of the stitching on a two-piece inline skate boot is purely cosmetic. A two-piece inline skate boot can have nicer looking stitching because the stitching is done before the boot is made and it serves no purpose. Bont high end and mid-range inline skate boots are all made using the one-piece construction as well as some of the entry-level skates. Using the one-piece construction method, the outer skin of the inline skate boot is stitched to the anti-stretch material that has been bonded into the carbon. This ensures your inline skates or inline speed skates do not stretch over time. This process was pioneered in the production of Bont custom speed skates.
