Community and Marketplace

TheRink has a simple aim to make ice skating accessible. We understand that ice skating (and in particular, ice hockey) can be an expensive sport to get into. We therefore offer multiple levels of accessibility to equipment:

  • Sponsorship
  • Community Marketplace - facilitating safe 2nd hand equipment sales
  • Rental of ice skates and ice hockey kit
  • Sales of ice skates and ice hockey kit

Community Outreach

TheRink's prime objective is to support all skaters. As part of this, we often run promotions specifically aimed at the local community.

This supports Cambridge Ice Arena and all those who visit.

Recent community outreach include:

  • Kodiaks Ice Hockey Club Sponsorship and Discounts (active)
  • Grizzlies Ice Hockey Club Discounts (active)
  • Individual Hockey Player Sponsorship
  • Student Discounts (active)
  • Cambridge Ice Arena staff support, including free sharpening

Contact Rich@TheRink for more information, or request support for your player, team or club directly.

Community Marketplace

Facilitating safe 2nd hand equipment sales.

ebay and Vinted have their place - but rarely a week goes by when we don't hear stories of:

  • Inability to sell due to lack of interest or trust
  • Skates bought that are beyond their usable life

TheRink Community Marketplace aims to buck the trend of 2nd hand sales, but introducing a service that assures both buyers and sellers, through expert guidance and evaluation of the listed equipment.
