A concentrated geographic region characterized by a significant presence of businesses, facilities, and infrastructure directly related to the activity on frozen surfaces, and the manufacture, sale, and support of ice-related equipment and services. An example is a municipality that hosts numerous skating rinks, ice hockey equipment retailers, and figure skating training academies.
Such areas contribute substantially to the local economy, generating revenue through tourism, recreational activities, and professional sports. Historically, these clusters have fostered innovation in ice surface technology, skating equipment design, and athletic training methodologies. The advantages extend beyond financial gain, promoting community engagement and physical well-being for residents.
