Does your community need an ice rink but doesn't know where to start?

We put together a free ebook called Rink in a Box. A realistic, cost-friendly approach to bringing a quality ice rink to your community without breaking the bank.

It covers what Rink in a Box is, whether it's the right fit, what it costs and how the process works.

Recreational facilities are among the most complex buildings to design.

Ice arenas, sports complexes, fitness centers and multi-purpose community spaces all come with unique technical demands, tight budgets and high community expectations.

Having spent over 30 years trying to get it right, we bring deep expertise in everything from refrigeration systems to multi-sport programming, with a process built to keep projects feasible, on budget and built to last.

A rink is so much more than ice.

In this blog, we break down how facility owners can think beyond the traditional rink to create spaces that generate revenue year-round and become a real hub for the community.

A few things worth thinking about:

▪️ Converting a second sheet to turf in the warmer months
▪️ Adding a co-branded tenant like a coffee shop or restaurant
▪️ Creating space for parties, pro shops or off-season training

When guests spend two-plus hours at your facility and bring the whole family, the experience matters. The design should reflect that.

Like many Minnesotans, we love spending time at the rink. And today, the rink is so much more than a place to skate. At HTG, we're passionate about helping our clients realize the benefits of a multipurpose facility so they can leverage the investment they've made. Offering more than ice opens oppo

Your community deserves more than four walls and a floor. Whether it's the crack of a puck on fresh ice, the buzz of a packed fitness floor, or kids discovering their first sport in a multi-use fieldhouse, the building makes it possible.

We have spent 30+ years turning big community dreams into high-performance recreation facilities.

Here is our secret: we listen first. You get to know your community. We know how to design for it.

Before you break ground, let us make sure your project is built to last and built to pay off. Our feasibility studies take the guesswork out of the game plan.
