The Ayr Ice Rink is an indoor facility situated in Ayr, Scotland.[1] The rink opened in October 1973 following the closure of the original Ayr Ice Rink.
The first ice hockey match at the new rink was a Northern League contest between the Ayr Bruins and Durham Wasps, played on October 3, 1973. The home side was victorious, 10-6.
The Ayr Raiders of the British Hockey League were based at the Ayr Ice Rink from 1989 to 1992. Due to the facility's limitations, the Raiders' played their home matches in Paisley in 1991-92 and in Glasgow for the 1992 Benson & Hedges Cup.
Since 2002 only youth and recreational hockey has been played at the arena.
