Ice Hockey Skates Manhattan

Ice skating in NYC questions?
Are there places to ice skate in Manhattan besides Rockefeller Center?
What about central park north? I know there is an ice rink, but isn’t it only for hockey? Do they rent skates?
Or what about Chelsea Peers? How it is? Expensive? Crowded?
I’m trying to avoid all the tourists and crowds lol, thanks for the help.

A skating rink is also planned for under the Brooklyn Bridge (DUMBO) but is facing major delays because the city (DOT) Department of Transportation plans to use spot as storage space to work on the bridge.
