posted 03/02/2012 Back in the summer of 2005 we started box lacrosse outdoors on cement in the 110 degree heat. This summer we move to the Ice Den, the first class home of the Phoenix Coyotes with cold AC, a restaurant featured on the Food Network, and a new $5 million rink with turf that is all ours every Sunday this summer!

When; First session is six weeks beginning June 10 and continuing every Sunday through July 15.
Where;
The Ice Den, located in north Scottsdale, a 150,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art ice skating and entertainment center and still home to the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes Hockey club who practice at the facility on a regular basis.
