30 Years of Success
For over 30 years, McFarland Community Ice Arena (MCIA) has stood as a testament to the power of community spirit and vision. Our facility serves a staggering 25,000 athletes and fans every year from McFarland and across Dane County, fostering athletic excellence and community bonds. MCIA supports over 30 different clubs and organizations serving a wide variety of youth and adult athletes and recreationalists who are passionate about hockey, figure skating and speed skating.
Our Humble Beginnings
In 1994, a group of dedicated parents and community members in the sleepy village of McFarland had a dream — to build an indoor community ice rink. Through sheer determination and hard work, that dream became a reality, and the McFarland Community Ice Arena was born.
