Step Inside The Forge
70,000 square feet of championship ice and community space
Central Oregon's hockey community has been dreaming of this for years. A place where athletes don't have to choose between ice time and sleep. Where families don't drive three hours for a tournament. Where the parking lot tells the story: ski racks, bike racks, and hockey bags all in the same row. The Forge is that dream—made real through community investment and built to serve future generations.

Where the fireplace is as important as the Zamboni

Features
- Fireplace and lounge seating
- Food and beverage service
- Viewing areas overlooking both sheets
- WiFi and workspace for parents
- Community gathering space
This is Bend's athletic living room.
Where the game meets the table
Restaurant & Bar
The Forge Pub & Restaurant is an expansive gathering place built around the ice. Whether you're fueling up before a game, watching your kid take the ice from your barstool, or winding down after a late skate, this is where The Forge community comes together. Industrial design, warm materials, and a direct view of the action make this more than a place to eat and drink—it's the heartbeat of the building.
Where Champions are Forged
Gym & Training Facility
A complete off-ice training environment designed for hockey players, figure skaters, and athletes of all ages. From youth development to adult leagues, this is a space to build strength, improve movement, and support long-term performance.
Train alongside your team. Train alongside your kids. Progress happens both on the ice—and together off it.
