Family-owned in Roseville since 1997
Skatetown first opened its doors during the winter holidays of 1997. The family that still owns and operates it broke ground that year, and Energy Users News recognized the building in 1999 for its energy efficient design and operations.
The 65,000-square-foot building holds two NHL-sized rinks and eight locker rooms. Rink air averages 40 to 60 degrees year round, while the lobby sits around 70 in the warmer months. Non-profit clubs based here include Capital Thunder Youth Hockey, the Firefighters Hockey Club, Hockey Belongs 2 Everyone, Capital City Figure Skating and the Wine Country Curling Club.
Skatetown welcomed its one-millionth public skating guest in 2009, the same year its skaters won the Ice Skating Institute World Recreational Championships and brought home more than 400 medals. A festive outdoor rink was added in 2012. The arena has hosted US Figure Skating Sectionals and Centrals, the Gold Rush Senior Hockey Tournament for players 50 and older, charity hockey games for the Firefighters Burn Institute and youth hockey tournaments.
