Sydney Ice Hockey

Last updated April 2026

Sydney Ice Hockey at the Macquarie Ice Rink in North Ryde is a fantastic way for kids to build confidence, make friends, and learn a dynamic sport in a safe and structured environment. Their junior programs are perfect for beginners, focusing on skill development through fun drills and games that keep children excited about learning. **What to Bring** Comfortable, warm clothing (layers are great!) Socks (long socks are ideal for under skates) A smile and enthusiasm for fun on the ice **Best Age Range** 5 to 16 years old **Good to Know** All hockey gear is provided, so there’s no need to worry about buying expensive equipment upfront. Sessions run year-round, with school holiday programs offering extra opportunities to join in the fun. **Nearby** Macquarie Centre (great for post-activity shopping or lunch) Lane Cove National Park (perfect for a family picnic or nature walk) Bicentennial Park (ideal for a post-skate play session) **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to let your child settle in and meet their coach—it helps reduce first-day nerves! Pack a small snack and water bottle for after the session, as the ice rink can be chilly and kids work up an appetite.
