Solar4America Ice
Solar4America Ice at San Jose 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.
The venue is also used for public skating, public/private skating programs, hockey programs, broomball, curling, speed skating, ice dancing, and more.
Remodeled in the summer of 2005, the facility features four NHL-sized ice rinks, as well as a full-service Pro Shop, a full-service Food Court, a video arcade, and meeting space for up to 500 guests.
Additionally, Stanley's Sports Bar & Grill, opened in January 2006, features food, beer, and wine.
In 1995, the arena hosted the Women's Pacific Rim Championship ice hockey tournament.
A proposed 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.
