The Rhinelander Ice Association is a 501( c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting youth ice sports in the Rhinelander area. The RIA owns and operates Rhinelander Ice Arena (Rhinelander Youth Sports Center) without funding from the city, county, or state. Rhinelander Ice Arena was built in the 1980s with thousands of volunteer hours spent on fundraising, planning, and construction.

The Face Off Banquet will recognize those who put in extraordinary efforts over the years to help build the Rhinelander Ice Arena and RIA Hockey and RFSC Figure Skating programs.
