The Glacier Ice Arena

The Glacier Ice Arena is Illinois'' premier, state-of-the-art ice arena. Come watch a game, or skate in comfortable, modern surroundings. The Glacier was built in 1999, and features two NHL size ice surfaces and has been a place for families to have fun ever since.

The Glacier Ice Arena''s modern lobby is bright, spacious and is illuminated with natural light from huge panoramic windows. There is a concessions stand that offers a wide range of hot and cold drinks together with an extensive variety of light snacks. You can keep up with the latest news or follow your favorite teams progress on one of the four high definition TV’s that are ideally located around the lobby.

Description:

It is a necessity for all young players to receive proper instruction in all skating and puck skills. Our staff will focus heavily on these areas. We will work on the basic components of skating, including forward stride, backward stride, turns, pivots, and acceleration. We will also provide instruction to develop puck handling, passing and shooting skills. Incorporated into the instruction of these important individual skills will be the basic fundamentals of team play in both the offensive and defensive zones.
All players, regardless of position or current skill, will be encouraged to carry the puck, make plays and have fun.

Your child’s time on the ice will be spent both with practice and game sessions. The game sessions will be structured to promote and expose the fun of the game. However, the primary goal of the IDHL will be player development. Players will be couraged to take chances, overcome their weaknesses and push themselves to improve. Our staff instructors and the parent coaches will not berate players for mistakes, but instead give positive instruction and reinforcement as to their errors and for recognizing and correcting them in the future. Our philosophy is to develop the whole individual by improving confidence and self-esteem, in addition to teaching the sport of hockey.
