Thanks to everyone for your patience with the rink as we wait for better weather before skating can begin.  We created base ice between Dec. 17 and Dec. 21.  Then everything had to be put on hold with the warmer outdoor temperature.

After the freezing rain and snowfall earlier this week, both rink surfaces were cleared.  Thank you to the individuals that powered through the difficult snow and ice!

The weather is forecasted to get colder on Sunday (Jan. 5).  We are going to flood both ice surfaces on Sunday morning – provided the temperature is below -3C to -4C – and I am hopeful we can open for skating in the afternoon.

Reminders to anyone using the rink:
– always close both gates to the hockey rink when you are the last to leave
– always shovel the rink surface before and after using it (skaters and hockey players must shovel if they want to use it)
– remove the hockey nets from the ice surface if you are the last to leave
– stay off the ice when the temperature is above freezing
– stay off the ice when the “Rink Closed” signs are out

All of the items above help expedite flooding to create a better ice surface.

Volunteers Needed

We have 1 person volunteering to supervise from 5-7pm on Sunday, and we still need volunteers to supervise the following upcoming shifts:

• 2 of 3 shifts on Sunday Jan. 5
  • 1pm-3pm
  • 3pm-5pm
• 6pm-9pm Thursday Jan. 9
• 6pm-9pm Friday Jan. 10

The fieldhouse cannot be opened for skaters to warm up or change unless we have a supervision volunteer.
