OmniCenter, Indoors

We use the Onalaska OmniCenter for indoor games and most practices, but occasionally use other local indoor rinks for practices. This spacious facility is easy to find (just off US35, about 4 miles north of I-90, or a mile west of the Onalaska Menards) and has lots of parking. Click their logo for facility details, or click here here for directions and map.
Spectators should be prepared to sit in the arena (at 40-50 degrees); there isn't a short-shirt-sleeves viewing area. A well-stocked Concession stand is open for games; vending machines are available otherwise. No mechanical or electronic noise-makers are allowed. Coaches may swap a set of personal keys for a locker room key at the OmniCenter Office. The coach is also responsible for cleaning up the locker room and turning out the lights when done (including strips of hockey tape that seem to fly everywhere) prior to getting their keys returned.
The OmniCenter is adjacent to VanRiper park, with lighted sledding hill and skating 'pond' in winter or soccer, volleyball and softball fields after the snow's gone. Year-round kiddie play area.

OmniCenter Rink2, Indoors

We've improved our old outdoor rink immediately behind the OmniCenter. It's artificial and enclosed. Skaters love the hard ice, but spectators will think it's cold. Same directions as above.
NOTE: there are 2 indoor locker rooms and 2 trailer locker rooms for this rink. Coaches may swap a set of keys for a locker room key.

Holmen, Outdoors

Our third rink is primarily for practice, but is lighted and can be used for games (weather permitting). It's located in the City Park east of East 2nd Ave, between Roberts St. on north and Wall St. on south (Roberts loops around to become Wall within the park). From Wisc 35 north, take Main ("DH") north 4 streets to Wall; turn right (east) and go 2 more blocks. Using www.mapquest.com, search Holmen, WI for East 2nd and Wall St.
As this is being typed, we're preparing a trailer to be placed next to this rink for skaters to use for changing and warming up. There are no spectator comforts, just lean on the boards and cheer your team on! {Hey, Mister, please toss back that puck! <grin>}

Other Facilities

Due to our using 100% of the available ice time at the OmniCenter, we also regularly practice at these indoor facilities too...
