hockey rink

Frozen playing surface

A hockey rink is the enclosed ice surface where hockey is played, typically rectangular with rounded corners and surrounded by boards.

Professional rinks measure 200 feet by 85 feet in North America, slightly wider internationally.

The term extends to the facility housing the ice: We're heading to the rink for practice.
