It's an exciting day for ice sports in Southern California. Today, we are proud to announce our plans to bring ice back to Escondido!

Escondido Ice is a proposed three-sheet community ice facility at Kit Carson Regional Park that would expand access to ice sports including offering public skating, learn-to-skate programming, youth and adult hockey, and figure skating. Escondido Ice will be funded entirely by The Rinks Foundation - founded by philanthropists and owners of the San Diego Gulls, Henry and Susan Samueli.

Escondido Ice will help grow ice sports in Escondido and North San Diego County, and also attract major tournaments and events to the facility, similar to the experience at Great Park Ice in Irvine.

Over the last 10 years, demand for ice in Southern California has skyrocketed, while the number of community ice rinks in San Diego County has dwindled. Escondido Ice proposes to fill some of that gap.

You never know who you'll see skating at The Rinks! ⛸️🦆

Last week at Lakewood ICE, welcomed world-renowned 4x ISU World Junior Champion, 4x ISU Junior Grand Prix Final Champion, and 8x ISU Junior Grand Prix Champion as a guest at their morning training session! Mao was visiting SoCal to throw out the first pitch at an Angels game, but that didn't stop her from doing her training work and taking time to say hello to her fans and our skaters in Lakewood.

We were so happy to meet you, Mao! Come back anytime! ⛸️🇯🇵🧡🦆

The 4th Annual Draft Tournament was held last weekend at - Irvine Inline! 🏒

The event brought together over 280 female roller hockey players from all over North America, and celebrated the growth of the sport. The tournament saw four divisions (9U, 13U, Women’s Novice, and Women’s) compete. 🥅

The draft style of the tournament allowed skaters to meet and play with people they normally would never get the chance to play against. The event was also used an official USA Roller Hockey scouting event, displaying world class talent that will soon represent Team USA at the 2026 World Championships in Asunción, Paraguay later this year. 🌎

Congratulations to all who participated! 🏒🦆
