Brightspeed Ice Park is a multi-purpose arena located in downtown Springfield, Missouri. The arena is owned and operated by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board[1] and serves as a location for community recreation, including public skate sessions, and the home for the Missouri State Ice Bears ice hockey team,[2] Drury University Ice Hockey[3] 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.[4] This agreement expired in 2019,[5] 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.[6]
