## How Cold Is Coventry Ice Rink?

If you haven't been to a hockey game before, you need to know that ice rinks are cold places (not a surprise!). And the closer you are to the ice, the colder you will be. Also, hockey rinks in the UK aren't heated, so temperatures in the arena drop in line with outside temperatures.

For those with some experience of UK rinks, we would rank the Coventry ice rink as colder than average.
