Iceworks — Local services in Town of Oyster Bay

As a mother, I came to this rink hoping it would be a place where my child could grow, learn, and build confidence through skating. But what I experienced was the complete opposite.

Bruce Eisenberg, the skating director, publicly confronted and humiliated me in front of other parents and children without verifying any facts. My young daughter was terrified and said she never wants to go back to that rink again.

I have been unable to sleep for several nights because of the distress and humiliation this incident caused. I gave him a chance to apologize, but he continues to deny any wrongdoing.

The atmosphere created by the leadership and senior staff does not nurture young athletes — it discourages them. Instead of empathy, patience, and understanding, there is arrogance and a lack of respect toward families who dedicate everything to this sport.

Parents who try to guide their children toward something good should never be disrespected. Figure skating should be a place that nurtures children’s dreams — not a place where they are broken by the behavior of adults in authority.

The truth will always reveal itself, and he should feel ashamed for treating families this way. I truly hope the management reflects on the environment they are creating for the next...

There are two sheets of ice, one full sized and another junior sized rink used for practices. The place is very clean and well kept.

They offer hockey programs for all ages and skill level from beginner to travel level players as well as youth to adult. The instructors are excellent and enjoy what they do. My personal experience with the hockey programs here has been with the adult clinic here on Mondays evenings. A clinic for beginner to intermediate level players looking to improved skills. My son also practices here with his bantam travel team.

The main parking area is a bit cramped, but there is an overflow lot right next door, so there is usually somewhere for you to park.

The pro shop is OK, they'll occasionally some equipment displayed (or for sale) that have been worn my NHL players...if you are into that sorta thing. They have most of the standard items you would expect a pro shop to have. But the prices aren't anything to write home about. But the service is good.

There is a concession stand here, but it's hit or miss whether it's open or not. So if you REALLY need coffee, I would hit the Dunkin Donuts just down the street before...

If you are looking for your child something to do during pandemic in cold weather-look no further. This is amazing place where they follow COVID guidelines making sure there is everything to be done to keep them open: temperature check, masks at all times(well...except 1 coach who was constantly removing that mask) and social distancing for all including assigned chairs. changing rooms and limiting number of people! Great...
