Deep Freeze Ice Arena is located in Boardman, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown, Ohio. Deep Freeze Ice Arena has one Olympic-sized ice sheet. New owners have taken over. The rink used to be called The Ice Zone but has been bought by the owner of the Boardman Extreme Air and is now renamed, Deep Freeze Ice Arena. It currently serves as the USHL Youngstown Phantoms practice facility.[1]
Controversy emerged after the owners of Extreme Air purchased the Ice Zone, when the freon from the ice compressor machines was stolen, possibly by associates of Bruce Zoldan, the previous owner. Also, the ice was melted before possession was transferred to the new owners. This resulted in an interruption of operations at the Ice Zone; youth programs such as ice hockey and figure skating lost ice time as a result. According to Zoldan, the new owners bought the building, not the equipment.
