We came up for a tournament. Rutland Arena is an above average rink for most we go to with our son’s team. There is skate sharpening on site. The cafeteria is well above average for a rink. Breakfast sandwich was good and the egg was fried on the grill when we ordered it instead of prepackaged and microwaved which was a pleasant surprise. The east arena is home to a junior B team so there are backless bleaches there with several rows. Not much heat on this one though. The west arena is much more limited seating with just a row or two for each team but the heaters were better there. Dressing rooms were good. Lots of parking, even mid tournament.

Great venue for small ice events. 1 large rink with lots of bleacher seating and 1 other rink attached to main building with smaller area for viewing games. Home of the Kelowna Chiefs BCHL Hockey team. Overhead heating for people watching from the bleachers.

First time there, even though I've lived in Kelowna for 30 years. Watched some good hockey, decent facility, bright, loud and exciting. Nice the Chiefs won in OT.

I love watching my grandson play hockey in the middle of summer. Brings back memories of when his father did the same thing, with his younger brother!
