It happened at the Orlando Ice Den on Maitland Summit Boulevard.

Maitland fire officials told Channel 9 that a possible ammonia leak caused alarms to sound around 8:30 p.m.

About 200 people were inside the venue at the time for a girl’s youth hockey league game.

Some guests said after the evacuation, they had to wait outside for about two hours before being able to go back for their personal belongings.
