Opened in 2007 at Elements with 180-degree harbour views, and charging by the minute through Octopus
Loading public skate, freestyle, and stick & puck times for The Rink (Elements)…
The Rink opened in 2007 in Elements, Tsim Sha Tsui, formed by Hubert Chow, the owner of Chickeeduck. Wikipedia's list gives the ice as 20 metres by 46 metres, and the account of its opening puts it among two new rinks that promoted ice hockey in 2007 and 2008.
The rink calls itself the first in Hong Kong to join pay-as-you-skate to an automated Octopus system. With no ticket booth there are no queues and no fixed public sessions apart from short resurfacing breaks, and Elements' own page adds that the rink has a 180-degree view of Victoria Harbour.
First-time skaters can use seal-shaped handrails for a safer start, and Elements' own page says the parents of young skaters may stay in the public area free of charge, to share the fun or to help when needed.
