The Chicago Steel moved to the Fox Valley Ice Arena in 2015, having previously played at the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville, Illinois since their inception in 2000. They added several new features to the rink, including a new scoreboard in the main NHL rink, new will call area, and renovated the back of the rink with office facilities, etc. Prior to the renovation of the rink, it was used for home games of the Chicago Freeze, Chicago Bluesmen of Roller Hockey International and the Chicago Hitmen of the North American Hockey League and North American 3 Hockey League.
