Mike Modano Ice Arena

City-Run Ice Arena Named After NHL Hall-of-Famer

The Mike Modano Ice Arena is the City of Westland's indoor ice rink, named after the Westland-raised NHL Hall of Famer Mike Modano. The arena recently invested over $1.7 million in LED lighting, guest-area renovations, and a new Zamboni, and serves as home rink for the Westland Hockey Association (WHA).

The arena offers full progression from first skates through high-school-age hockey. Programs include:
- Learn to Skate group classes for all ages
- TimBits introductory hockey program
- Westland Hockey Association (WHA) youth hockey teams ages 6-18
- Figure-skating progression and competitive USFS programming
- Hockey conditioning and skill clinics
- Adult hockey leagues

What's Included

• Indoor ice sheet with renovated guest areas and LED lighting
• Skate-rental availability for public sessions
• Coaching staff from WHA and figure-skating programs
• Locker rooms and warm spectator seating

Experience

New skaters work through balance, falling safely, and basic forward strokes before moving into edges, stops, and crossovers. Hockey-track players progress from TimBits to WHA in-house and travel teams without changing rinks. Recent facility upgrades make the experience comparable to higher-end private arenas at a city-rec price.
