They used to play in Highland Park next to the volleyball courts on that little lake, but the city put some kind of aeration system in and it is messing up the ice. I suspect they did it to make it impossible to skate. Therefore you might have to head out to the suburbs where ice hockey is played more often. I know they play at a few places in Fox Chapel. Squaw Run Road near the racket club and Cambell's Lake. I don't see any information on it because.... well it is FC. I am sure there are other places around. I think Oakmont has a rink to play at Riverside Park. Suburbs are going to be more active in such a sport.

Check out the Post Gazette today, a photo of some kids playing hockey at North Park. The Crown Jewell of the Great White North.

Now that I am thinking clearer, there is a lake they play pond hockey off Boundary Street. The lake is called Panther Hollow Lake and I have seen them play there.




There is also a rink at Schenley Park, but I don't know about hockey?

Squaw Valley Park on Fox Chapel Road has a nice lake for hockey and they play there, but I don't know how old they are? They might be kids picking up games.

Hope this helps. I enjoy watching people play hockey on ice as I ride by on my bike, so I guess that is why I know so many places. I miss people playing in Highland Park. Maybe it is okay now that it has been so damn cold and people are playing again? Not sure if the ice is frozen enough with that air running there?

They play pickup hockey at the Schenley Rink on Monday and Wednesday evenings. A group rents out the rink and asks that you contribute to the rental cost. I am not sure whether there are any other groups besides the M/W night group that plays hockey at Schenley.
