Mission Statement:

Our goal at Roller King is to provide our community with a safe, enjoyable, and healthy activity for the whole family.

• History: Family owned and operated since 1977 Roller King has been host to families, schools, churches, birthday parties, canned food drives, holiday parties, fundraisers, girl scout troops, P.E. classes, adult nights, dances, lock-ins, and countless other group activities for the surrounding Roseville community.

• Roller King is also proud to be the home of the Roseville Artistic Skate Club and the many local, regional, national, and even world champions they have produced over the years.
  Recently we have also added the Sacred City Derby Girls women's flat track roller derby team, and the Roseville Speed Skating team to our ranks.

• We have even had a few celebrities like: Mark S. Allen, Jim Kozimor, Gary St. Jean, Pretty Ricky, and sports stars like Chris Webber, Bobby Jackson, Steve Sax, and Danny Ainge come skating with us through the years.

• Some people say the place hasn't changed since the 70's, but we have actually changed quite a bit: The skating floor used to be blue concrete (still visible near the double emergency doors at the back of the rink), we placed Flat Screen TV's in the Snackbar, the walls and carpet were orange, dark red, and black, all the counters were orange, party room 1 was a smoking lounge, the interior of the party rooms had only brown paneling, the bathroom stalls had no doors, the mural on the back wall was skiers, pretty much the only thing that hasn't changed are the green lockers and the orange tiles in the bathroom.
