Hi, I´m a non-professional hockey player from Slovakia. I will move to Brussels by 2/25/2011 for two years. I´ve been playing ice hockey all my live. I can´t imagine not to play for two years. Were you able to find an opportunity to play while being in Brussels? If yes or if you have any contact to someone who actually plays ice hockey and is living in Brussels, pls let me know.
Many thanks

Bad news folks. The arena in Brussels closed years ago. The nearest arena is in Leuven about 30 km east of Brussels. This is their web site: ihcl.be

So is there nay other ice rinks in BElguim  area I would like to skate again

There is a recreational team at Poseidon ice rink, the only one in Brussels. The next nearest rinks and for more professional teams are east of Brussels in Leuven (as mentioned above) and also west of Brussels in Liedekerke.

Hello - my 11 year old son lives to play ice hockey and we are moving to Brussels in July. Is there a minor hockey team or association in Brussels? Please help! He doesn't want to move without this connection.

Many thanks!

Brussels has only 1 ice rink where there is apparently recreational adult hockey. Poseidon in Woluwe-St-Lambert.

Ice rink with children's hockey in Leuven, 20km east of Brussels.

Another ice rink, cannot remember name, about 10km north west of Brussels with children's hockey.

Thank you - I will look into Leuven! Much appreciate your help!
