Jordan Valley Ice Park
Arena in Springfield, Missouri
Jordan Valley Ice Park (formerly known as Brightspeed Ice Park) is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in downtown Springfield, Missouri, featuring two NHL-sized indoor ice rinks. The arena is owned and operated by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board and offers ice sports, including public skate sessions, Learn to Skate, figure skating and ice hockey, as well as roller derby in the summer. The ice park is home to the Missouri State Ice Bears ice hockey team, Drury University Ice Hockey, Jordan Valley Figure Skating Club, and various youth sports programs.
The facility has had three names since it opened as Jordan Valley Ice Park in 2001. In 2008, it was renamed to Mediacom Ice Park, following a 10-year naming rights agreement with Mediacom, a cable television and communications provider in the United States. This agreement expired in 2019, whereupon the arena reverted to its original name. In 2024, the name became Brightspeed Ice Park, reflecting a 10-year naming rights agreement with Brightspeed Fiber Internet.

Why this record matters
“Jordan Valley Ice Park” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jordan, Valley and Park provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6806008. Authority coordinates are 37.211, -93.285. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2008, 2019 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
