There are some ice rinks that are open during the summer - and although you may get some funny looks when you tell friends that you're going ice skating in July, you'll be nice and cool while they are sweating. Let them laugh all they want! There are two rinks (that we know of)  that are open during the summer - the Knickerbacker Ice Rink in Troy and the Schenectady County Recreational Facility.
