With a little determination, knowing the right techniques and a little practice, learning how to ice skate can be easy and a lot of fun. Whether your goal is to skate backward, spin really fast, score a goal or win a race, we have the know-how to help. Remember, just like you, every champion had to begin with a few easy lessons.

The Merrill Fay Arena is owned and operated by the Winnipesaukee Skating Club, a New Hampshire non-profit 501c3 corporation, doing business as the Merrill Fay Arena. The Winnipesaukee Skating Club, its members, officers and directors are committed to the operation, maintenance and improvement of this facility.

One of our objectives has been, and continues to be, to create an affordable opportunity for skaters of all ages and abilities to enjoy this facility. Another important objective is to make skating and hockey available to those (with an emphasis on children) in our community who may otherwise find participation unaffordable.
