From 2003-2010, the Arena hosted 'Superstars on Ice,' welcoming Olympians and world champions such as Scott Hamilton, Sasha Cohen, Todd Eldredge, Evan Lysacek, Johnny Weir, Kurt Browning, Yuka Sato, Kimmie Meissner and Irina Slutskaya.

District registration system unavailable
Monday–Tuesday for 16 hours
| |
In order to improve the efficiency of the Skokie Park District registration system (RecTrac & WebTrac), including the district's summer camp registration in February, the system will be migrated to the cloud beginning Monday evening at 9 p.m. Our IT department estimates a 16 hour migration, hopefully ending by Tuesday at 1 p.m.
All registration will be on hold during that period, however all facilities and programs will be operational.
We expect the move to make for a better user registration experience going forward, and we thank you for you patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
