The Dunedin Ice Skating Club (DISC) is open to people of all ages who love to skate on ice. We cater for all levels of figure skating right up to international competitions. There are approximately 200 members in the Dunedin Ice Skating Club, with 24 registered competitive skaters. We also have a small group of competitive speed skaters in the Dunedin Ice Skating Club.

Over the period of its existence the club has had periods of strong success. We have a number of international representatives in both figure skating and speed skating.

The club was founded in 1988, and for the first 14 years of its life was based at the now closed Big Chill ice arena. From 2002 - 2004 Dunedin had no ice skating rink, but a few members continued skating and competing by travelling to Gore several times a week. In October 2004 the new Dunedin Ice Stadium opened, and is owned and operated by Ice Sports Dunedin. Ice Sports Dunedin is an incorporated society formed by the club in cooperation with ice hockey and curling interests in Dunedin.

The Dunedin Ice Stadium is located at 101 Victoria Road in St Kilda Dunedin. It is a privately operated rink, and runs regular public sessions. If you want to try skating, a public session is the way to go. The rink also runs learn-to-skate sessions (Kiwiskate). This is an ideal way to get the younger children started. To find out public session times and kiwiskate lessons please refer to the Dunedin Ice Stadium website or call the rink at 03 4564556.
