The Rinks - Irvine Inline

A great read and small glimpse of what it means to play in, work, or attend a NARCh finals event The Rinks - Irvine Inline.

Months of prep go into each finals. Rink upgrades and facility work is only half the battle. Planning for and imagining every possible contingency in advance to keep the game rolling, and still random things happen. Our small staff of 30 come together for 12 brutal days in the dead of summer to put on the biggest hockey tournament in the country. We operate nearly 24 hours a day for the duration. At any given moment we have thousands of people in our roller hockey wonderland.

Staff are pushed to the limits with trash cans that seem to fill comically fast, snack bar lines, and bathroom restocks. But this is when the building is alive, there is an air of excitement and hockey stank. We wouldn’t have it any other way!

5,000 Strong. 🧡🏒

What better time to hit 5,000 Instagram followers than during NARCh Finals, the biggest hockey tournament in the nation.

To every player, parent, coach, official, volunteer, and fan who has followed along, shared our posts, cheered from the stands, or rolled through our doors... thank you.

This building is more than just a rink. It's a community. The energy you bring every day to is what fuels our staff to keep creating unforgettable experiences both on and off the floor.

Whether you're here chasing a championship, learning to skate, or making lifelong memories, you're the reason we do what we do.

Here's to 5,000, and to the next milestone together. 💪

Tiles are $1 each but you can buy them in sheets (4x3) for $12 to make transporting them and installing them a bit quicker.
