Planet Ice have announced that they are hoping for a "late January 2019" opening of the Elland Road site, which has been in the pipeline since early 2016.

If completed by January 2019, it will mean the rink has been in development for a total of three years, following a hold-up caused by strong winds damaging the build in November 2017, and a change in ownership.
