Ingalls Rink

Came here to watch a scrimmage between SOM and HBS, which was a fun time. There’s a ton of bench seating and you can get right up on the glass. Can’t really hear the announcing (but that may be because of the crowd). The place is reasonably clean (there was staff scrambling to clean up from the previous game before we got there). Bring a jacket, because guess what? Ice is cold. The things you learn at Yale…

Ingalls Rink is a lovely building with unique architecture, that hosts hockey! What more could one want? I found the rink to be quite nice, clean, and comfortable. I look forward to many games here.

As a member of the Yale Figure Skating Club, I was fortunate enough to practice at Ingalls regularly. This rink is superior, one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of skating in. What makes this rink so wonderful is the cool design of the building, the rink is always pristine, the locker rooms are huge and well kept, and the staff is top-​notch.
If your interested in joining the Yale Figure Skating Club, check out the website (
). Also check out the men’s (
) and women’s (
) hockey schedule to catch a game during the season. They are kind of a big deal (I’m talking championship team), so get your tickets early.

Through HS and most of college I was a hockey girl or hockey girlfriend. I have been to this rink many, many times and I love it. The views are great, the rink is well maintained and everyone that works there is always super nice. The design of the rink is really neat too – the coolest I’ve seen, and I’ve been to many a hockey rink.

The Yale Whale is a great rink. It’s incredibly unique in design, and one of the coolest buildings in all of New Haven. It’s a fantastic place to watch a game, and I’d highly suggest checking this place out at least once. There’s not a bad view in the entire place, and you’ll be surrounded by history.
