Three sheets under a 93,000-square-foot roof, reopened by the City of Santa Clarita on April 12, 2021
The Cube opened on April 12, 2021, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that returned ice to the City of Santa Clarita. The building had been Ice Station Valencia, owned by Roger Perez, who also owned the Valencia Flyers, a junior franchise founded in 2001 in the Western States Hockey League. The rink closed at the end of the 2019–20 season under the COVID-19 shutdown, and the closure was made permanent by the financial losses, leaving Ice Station Valencia on the brink of closing for good until the city council voted unanimously to acquire the building for $14.2 million.
The city's renovation produced three sheets across 93,000 square feet: an NHL-size rink, an Olympic-size rink and a small third sheet called The Pond. Each rink can be covered with an insulated floor for conventions, concerts and filming. The LA Kings and American Sports Entertainment Company manage the building in partnership, and it is the home arena of the UCLA Bruins men's ice hockey team alongside public skating, hockey and curling.
Expect it cold: about 54 degrees inside the arena. The Cube runs multiple hockey tournaments every year and hosted the West Coast Hockey Conference playoffs, a 12-university league drawn from California, Arizona and New Mexico, in both 2025 and 2026.

Rental skates run from toddler size 7 to men's 13 and are not made in half sizes, so the rink advises going down a half size rather than up. You may bring your own skates instead.
