POWAY — A new indoor ice rink is coming to Poway’s business park following the unanimous approval of plans by the Poway City Council Tuesday night. 

The rink will be built inside an existing building near the intersection of Kirkham Road and Scripps Poway Parkway on Kerran Street and will be the practice facility and headquarters of the San Diego Gulls, the top minor league team of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks. 

The Gulls will practice in the arena and will have executive offices on the mezzanine floor. 

When the Gulls aren’t practicing, youth and adult hockey teams are expected to practice there, as are local figure skaters. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, open skating and skating parties for the general public will be offered, rink owner Nish Mehta has told the city. 

Mehta, head of Hattrick Inc., announced last month that he has a signed contract with the Ducks, who will contribute approximately half of the estimated $4 million in arena construction costs. Tuesday night he said the Poway Ice Arena should be open for business by late summer. 

The arena will be built in one-half of an 114,000-square-foot building, half of which is occupied by a recycling center/warehouse. The other half, where the arena will be constructed, is now vacant. 

It will strictly be a practice and open skate facility. Grandstands won’t be built because no formal games are planned. To accommodate customers, 153 additional parking spaces will be built bringing the total for the rink/warehouse to 223. 

The rink will become the second to open in North County in the past six months. A rink in Carlsbad near Palomar Airport opened in December joining Escondido’s popular Ice-Plex that opened in 1994. There are also indoor rinks in Mira Mesa, La Jolla and Rolando.
