    How it works

    1. Every clinic goes on one calendar

      Rinks, private coaches, skills programs and pro team camps around Boston, plus the bigger regional programs families drive for. December break, February and April vacation, summer, single days off like MLK Day, and clinics during the season.

    2. Rink and coach pages get checked every week

      Each listing shows its source and the date it was last checked. Last year's dates are always labeled as expected, never as confirmed.

    3. You get an alert when sign-ups open

      A short email with a direct link to register, so you're not refreshing a booking app at midnight. You still sign up on the rink or coach's own site.

    Questions

    Is it free?

    Yes. The site and the email alerts are free.

    What's the difference between a camp, a clinic and a walk-on?

    A camp usually runs most of the day for a full week. A clinic is a shorter block of ice time, often an hour or two a day for one to four days. A walk-on is a single session you book by the day, so it's the easiest to fit around a family trip.

    What area do you cover?

    Rinks and coaches around Boston, including the north and west suburbs and the North Shore. A few bigger regional programs farther out are listed too, marked Worth the drive.

    Why do some dates say expected?

    Most coaches and rinks post dates a few weeks before each break. Until they do, the listing shows when registration opened last year so you know when to watch. Those dates are dashed and labeled expected. Once the real date is posted, it switches to confirmed and the alert goes out.

    Do you list in-season clinics and Learn to Play?

    Yes. Vacation weeks, December break and single days off lead the calendar, and clinics that run during the season are listed alongside them. Pick During the season in the finder to see them.

    Can I register through Borrowed Ice?

    No. Every listing links to the rink or coach's own registration page, and you sign up there.

    A clinic is missing.

    Please send it over. Every listing has a "Send an update" link, or email brittany@borrowedice.com. New clinics go up within 24 hours.

    What do you do with my email?

    Send you the alerts, and nothing else. It's never sold or shared. Borrowed Ice only asks for your email and player level, and never for your kids' names.
