A former outdoor Orland Park rink the Gust family bought and renamed, now three sheets under one roof.
Arctic Ice Arena started life as an outdoor rink in Orland Park. Dave Gust bought it and gave it its current name, a purchase inspired by his son David, an Orland Park native who went on to play for the Chicago Wolves. In 2023 Southwest Regional Publishing still described the arena as the family business run by Dave and Kelly Gust.
The building now covers 90,000 square feet with three sheets of ice, and an upstairs bar looks down on the Championship Rink. The Chicago Fury's rink page says the arena hosts the USHL combine.
The youth hockey side changed in July 2025, when the arena merged its Arctic Jr Fury Tier III program into the Orland Park Vikings, putting coaching, ice scheduling and player development under one club. From that season the Vikings field teams in the Tier II Central States Developmental Hockey League, the Tier III Northwest Hockey League and, for 8U travel, the Chicago United Hockey League. David Gust Jr, who spent seven seasons in the American Hockey League, joined the merger as the rink's Director of Player Development.
