Ice rules
Welcome to Thialf. For everyone's skating pleasure, here are our most important ice rules!
ICE RULE 1 You may only enter the ice with skates on. A helmet and (cut-resistant) gloves are mandatory on the ice.
ICE RULE 2 Faster skaters skate on the inside (left) of the track. Slower skaters skate on the outside (right).
ICE RULE 3 During the ice resurfacing break you leave the ice.
ICE RULE 4 You reach the central area via the tunnel, under the track.
ICE RULE 5 The use of ice hockey sticks, pucks or personal toys such as sleds is prohibited during recreation hours.
ICE RULE 6 The safety cushions (boarding) are for safety. Sitting, lying or leaning on them is not allowed.
ICE RULE 7 The correct skating direction is counterclockwise, so to the left. It is forbidden to skate against the direction.
ICE RULE 8 It is forbidden to cross via the low boarding.
