History

Opened in 1998 as the 'NHL Skate at Exeter', [2] The Rinks At Exeter have served as a public skating rink for the Exeter region ever since. While the arena has passed through several ownership groups, it has never stopped seeing a large volume of foot traffic, reportedly seeing upwards of 850,000 visitors per year. [3] Part of the reason for such a large number is that the rinks serve as the home for several clubs including Phillips Exeter Academy, Seacost Performance Academy and the Ice Skating Club of Exeter.

Recently, the rink has been home to junior hockey teams as well, hosing games for both the Seacoast Spartans and Thunder Hockey Club. [4]
