Why The Ohio State University Ice Rink why was this picked
The Ohio State University Ice Rink on Woody Hayes Drive is the campus option, home ice for Buckeye hockey, with open skating posted one month at a time on the athletics site. Public admission is $12 and OSU campus members pay $10, with skate rental included in both prices. Admission is limited for each session, so it is the one pick here where a popular night can cap out. Check the calendar before driving in, since dates change with the team schedule.
