Welcome to Hockeytown! Established in 1972, Hockeytown is the premier venue for Ice, Dek, and Roller hockey on the north shore. The facility boasts two ice hockey rinks and is conveniently located off of route one with plenty of parking for visitors. The Turtles, a Hockeytown team, recently faced the Big Red in the East Division Semi Finals, and then went on to face the heavily favored Blackbears in the Finals. Thanks to the reflexes of veteran goaltender Lloyd Ternes and the speed of the “rookies”, the Turtles captured the Title in an exciting 3-2 victory. Congratulations to all on a great season! For the 2022-2023 Season, Hockeytown is hoping to return to a 7 team format. Applications are now available online or at the office. If you or someone you know may be interested, please spread the word about Hockeytown!

But Abbott, a Refrigeration Mechanic, saw the potential for the local area and decided to take a risk. In 1980, Hockey Town USA Inc. was opened in Saugus, Massachusetts. Abbott saw a need for an additional artificial ice arena, as the abundant natural ice in the area was limited to a short winter season. He began driving his sons and neighborhood kids to Frost Arena and Lynn Arena to skate well after midnight, and this inspired him to create the rink. Abbott’s vision was to create a unique hockey experience that would provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for the local youth and adult hockey players. Hockey Town USA has achieved this goal and has become a staple of the Saugus community. With a full-size rink, pro shop, and other amenities, the facility has established itself as an institution in the area. Hockey Town USA is proud to be part of the rich hockey history of Saugus and to continue to offer a fun and safe environment for the community.
