LOL! Depends on where you skate! Most of the time the rink I skate at smells like normal ice, but on certain days, when the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL hockey team has a hard practice before public skate, it smells like sweat! LOL!

This is kinda off topic but one of my friends that plays hockey told me that it's bad luck for hockey players to wash their equipment( i don't think that includes their jerseys.. i hope!) I was just like mmm... YuMM lol! I've never smelled the ice before but i'm skating tonight so if i remember i'll "fall"... but wouldn't it just smell like water, which doesn't smell at all?(usually) lol!

The rink where I skated as a kid always smelled like chlorine, so that would be my answer...chlorine.

if I'm in the trippy mood, it also smells of Downy as my rear hits the ice and my clothes momentarily freeze to the ice.

The water used to make ice in arenas is as pure as a facility can afford to get it, and pure water is colorless and odorless, as is the ice made from it. In our less than perfect world, however, there are lots of things that could be in the water, and thus in the ice. Add to that the odor of any refrigerant that may have leaked into the water and any pollutants from the zamboni etc, and you will have some kind of smell. Just a matter of what is there that shouldn't be.

DB, I thought they added something to the water they use to make the ice? I know once my husband slipped and fell on a day when the ice had only just been made, and was still wet, and he had white marks all down his front until I washed his trackie. And we were told that was from the chemicals in the water.

Depends on the rink for me. My home rink smells like water. My weekend rink smells like DAMP...and sometimes gas.

Perfume and sweat I'm guessing. More one than the other at the end of the session.
