The ice is set and ready for action at the Fishers Event Center as the venue prepares for its first full fall and winter season.

The newly built rink follows the Legends Global 2025 Operations Ice Summit, hosted at the arena September 10–12. The three-day event brought together industry professionals from across the country to share best practices for ice building, maintenance, and venue changeovers.

During the summit, the Fishers Event Center crew worked alongside ice experts to prep, paint, install logos, and build the rink. Participants also attended training sessions on refrigeration, logo installation, and ice management, and even took part in a Zamboni “mini boot camp.” Vendors included Jet Ice, Mid America Rink Services, Zamboni, CIMCO and Athletica.

Venues represented at the summit ranged from large civic centers and arenas to sports complexes, including facilities in Knoxville, Florence, Peoria, Boston, Charleston, and Jacksonville, among others.

Fishers Event Center officials say proper ice management is key to running the building efficiently and ensuring a high-quality competition surface. That will be especially important when the Indy Fuel return to the ice for their 12th season opener on Friday, October 17.
