RCMP's Forensic Identification Services along with the Police Dog Services also attended the scene.
There was little damage to the rink, said police, as it appears the suspects entered through an "unsecured door".
Police pointed out there have been a number of other ATM thefts recently.
"The RCMP's Major Crime Unit have been investigating several of these ATM thefts which have been occurring across the Island and ask that anyone having information regarding these thefts call P.E.I. Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477," said police in a release.
