Venue Overview
Fraser Valley Sports Complex & Icebox Ice Rink is the Fraser Valley Metropolitan Recreation District’s outdoor sports campus on County Road 522 in Fraser, minutes from Winter Park in Grand County. Its centerpiece is the Icebox, an NHL-size covered outdoor ice rink with views of the Continental Divide, which hosts youth and adult hockey, curling, stick and puck and open skating through the winter, then turns into a sport court for pickleball and box lacrosse in summer. Diamonds, sand volleyball and grass fields make it the Fraser Valley hub for ice hockey and summer leagues.

History
The Icebox once relied on natural ice. After about three years of community fundraising, a roughly 700,000 dollar project added a refrigeration system and a new building with a meeting room, a referee locker room and storage, funded by a state grant, local towns, the county, foundations, hockey associations and private donors. Sky-Hi News reported the upgraded rink opening for its season in late November 2018.
The Ice
Refrigeration lets the Icebox open as early as late October and keep ice into spring, roughly matching the ski season.
