The Northbrook Sports Center hosts several events throughout the year: local, regional, national and international hockey tournaments, figure skating and speed skating tournaments. The Northbrook Sports Center can also accommodate large events such as Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events and meetings, community events and the annual production of Northbrook-On-Ice.
Northbrook-On-Ice captures the hearts of those who participate each year and of those who watch the spectacle of skill. The annual event has been called the best amateur ice show in the country and has dazzled spectators since 1969.
The Northbrook Winter Welcome is an ISI competition held every December at the Northbrook Sports Center.
The winter recital is a celebration of the winter holidays, open to skaters enrolled in a Northbrook Sports Center program. Many of the skaters choreograph their holiday-themed programs.
Is your child ready for skating lessons? The Northbrook Park District offers a free class, twice each year, for children ages 3 and older who have never taken skating classes. Our professional staff teaches basic skating skills and determines readiness for class.

Campers enjoy daily skating instruction, practice time and an off-ice dance class. This popular camp groups children by grade and skating level. Skaters present a short recital for family and friends.
The Northbrook Sports Center is offering a summer program for skaters in FS 1 and up who are interested in specialized training to help develop their skating skills.
