Assumption of Risk, Release, and Hold Harmless Agreement

I understand that ice skating, hockey, training, recreational activities, and attendance at an ice rink involve inherent and other risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, falls; collisions with people, boards, glass, goals, equipment, or other objects; cuts from skate blades; injuries caused by pucks or sticks; equipment failure; changing ice conditions; acts or omissions of other participants; and serious bodily injury, illness, permanent disability, paralysis, or death.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with my participation, attendance, use of the facility, and presence on the premises, whether those risks are known or unknown and whether arising from the activity itself or the ordinary negligence of a released party, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In consideration for being permitted to enter and use Regency Sportsrink and participate in activities conducted there, I, on behalf of myself and, when applicable, my participating minor child, heirs, representatives, estate, and assigns, release and discharge Regency Sportsrink, its owner, operators, affiliated organizations, employees, coaches, instructors, volunteers, contractors, sponsors, and representatives from claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses arising from or related to participation, attendance, or use of the facility, except to the extent that such a release is prohibited by law.

I further agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the released parties from claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable legal expenses resulting from:

  • My actions or omissions;
  • The actions or omissions of my minor child, participants, guests, employees, contractors, or vendors;
  • A violation of these rental rules;
  • Damage to the facility or property; or
  • The activities conducted as part of the rental.

I understand that Regency Sportsrink does not guarantee the safety or security of any participant, guest, vehicle, equipment, or personal property.

If I am signing on behalf of an organization, team, or rental group, I represent that I am authorized to accept these terms on its behalf. I accept responsibility for communicating these rules and risk disclosures to all participants and guests. Individual participants may also be required to complete separate waivers.

If I am the parent or legal guardian of a participating minor, I give permission for the minor to participate, acknowledge the risks on the minor’s behalf, and agree to the terms above to the fullest extent permitted by law.
