About The Position

Join Our Team: Arena Ice Operations (Part-Time)

Do you enjoy hands-on work, seeing events come to life, and working in a fast-paced, team-driven environment? The Classic Center is looking for dependable, energetic people to join our Arena Ice Operations team. From Hockey games to community celebrations, you’ll help transform the arena from one event to the next — and see your work in action when the crowd arrives.

These positions are largely season and call for someone who enjoys flexible, event/project based opportunities.

In this role, no two days are the same. You’ll work behind the scenes to make major events happen — from setup to final sweep — and see firsthand how your work shapes the guest experience. You’ll be part of a crew that gets things done and takes pride in a job well done.

The candidate who is selected for this position will have to successfully pass a drug screening and a criminal background check.

Requirements

• Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, holidays, and extended hours when needed.
• Reliable transportation.
• Physical ability to lift 25–50 lbs, walk extensively, and bend/squat/kneel during shifts.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a forklift license and valid state driver’s license.
• A team player with a strong work ethic and attention to detail.

Nice To Haves

• At least one year in a similar role (arena, convention center, stadium, or theater) preferred.

Responsibilities

• Work alongside staff and third-party crews to set up and convert the arena for events.
• Build event layouts based on diagrams and manager instructions — everything from tables and chairs to hockey glass and ice covers.
• Prioritize safety in every task, following training and best practices.
• Assist with show preparations, day-of-event needs, and post-event tear-down of ice operations.
• Keep backstage areas clean, organized, and efficient.
• Store tools and equipment properly after use and assist with annual inventory.
• Pitch in on other duties as assigned — every event is different.
