Sharks Ice San Jose

Sharks Ice San Jose (formerly the Ice Center of San Jose, Logitech Ice Center, and Solar4AmericaIce) is an indoor ice rink in San Jose, California, United States. The largest ice rink facility in the Western United States, Solar4America Ice serves as the official training facility for the NHL San Jose Sharks and the home arena for San Jose State University's Spartans hockey team. The facility opened in 1994 and was expanded in 2000 and 2005. Roofing contractor PetersenDean bought naming rights to the facility in 2016, renaming the facility after its Solar4America solar roofing brand.[1][2] After PetersenDean's bankruptcy in 2020, the name reverted to Sharks Ice

The venue is also used for public skating, public/private skating programs, hockey programs, broomball, curling, speed skating, ice dancing, and more.[3]

Remodeled in the summer of 2005, the 180,000 sq ft (17,000 m²)[4] facility features four (4) NHL-sized ice rinks (the Spartans play on the North Rink, which has a listed seating capacity of approximately 550, but is routinely packed with upwards of 1000 fans on game nights), as well as a full-service Pro Shop, a full-service Food Court, and meeting space for up to 500 guests.

Additionally, Stanley's Sports Bar & Grill, opened in January 2006, features food, beer, and wine.[5]

In 1995, the arena hosted the Women's Pacific Rim Championship ice hockey tournament.

A proposed 200,800 sq ft (18,650 m²)[6] expansion would add another two rink surfaces and more than double the size of the facility, but would displace the San Jose Municipal Firing Range. If the expansion is approved, it would begin construction in 2020 and finish in December 2021.[4]

The facility expansion included the new Tech CU Arena, the permanent home of the San Jose Barracuda.
