A muIti-purpose room serves as a venue for sports training, meetings, and other social functions while a clinic provides immediate first aid assistance for any minor sports-related injuries. This is the 1st time for this development as previous clinics were for the malls and not dedicated to SM Skating.

It was Mr. Henry Sy Sr.’s vision to introduce the finesse and grace in ice sports through a fully equipped ice skating rink. The unveiling of this new facility is both a step forward in our commitment to help grow winter-based sports and our way of inviting more families to step inside the rink and create a fun, memorable experience together,” said Herman Medina-Cue, COO of SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc.

Families, friends and bleacher fans can conveniently watch practices, training, exhibitions, shows, games and tournaments at the ZOO-seater stands located around the rink. Those wanting to take a quick bite can easily head to the Snack Time booth for hotdogs, burgers, nachos, popcorn, coffee cakes, pastries and ice-cold beverages and relax at the rink’s spacious lobby and lounge area.

SM Skating Rink Origins

For the unfamiliar, SM Skating started as a leisure rink built by the inspired Henry Sy Sr. whose interest was piqued by the grace and class of figure skating. The SM Skating Rink possesses the only Olympic-sized ice skating rinks in the entire country.

The SM Skating Rink also provides lessons for figure skating, ice hockey, and speed skating. Led by Henry Sy Sr.’s vision of a tropical country excelling in winter-based sports, SM Skating is now home to world class figure skaters, such as the first Southeast Asian Winter Olympian Michael Martinez and national ice hockey team, Team Pilipinas, who brought home the first gold medal for the sport during the 2017 SEA Games. In the future, SM Skating Rink will introduce more sports and activities to learn on the ice, and events that will cater to the existing and new winter-based sports.
