The rink is open today. It was flooded last night and is in excellent condition.

Volunteer supervisors will be onsite and have the fieldhouse open from 11am to 5pm today. We are still in need of a volunteer for 5pm to 8pm today – otherwise the fieldhouse will close at 5pm.

Update@11:40am: a volunteer has come forward to supervise from 5pm to 8pm. The fieldhouse will be open from 11am to 8pm today.

Rink Update – 2019-01-11

Both rink surfaces were shoveled and flooded last night. The rink is in excellent shape. If you are going to skate, please be careful about exposed skin! The current (@9am) temperature is -20C, “feels like” -30C.

We need volunteers to supervise the following upcoming shifts:

  • 6pm-9pm tonight (Friday January 11th)
  • 5pm-8pm this Saturday January 12th (the earlier shifts on that day are already covered).
  • 1pm-3pm and 3pm-5pm this Sunday January 13th (the last shift on that day is already covered)

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

Rink Update – 2019-01-10

The rink continues to be open all day. Last night’s snow may need to be shoveled off the rink surfaces.

There will be supervision during the regular hours this evening.

We are still looking for a volunteer to supervise the following upcoming shifts:

  • 6pm-9pm this Friday January 11th
  • 5pm-8pm this Saturday January 12th (the earlier shifts on that day are already covered).
  • 1pm-3pm and 3pm-5pm this Sunday January 13th (the last shift on that day is already covered)

Rink update – 2019-01-09 #2

The puddle rink has been shoveled/scraped and can be used for skating as of 5:30pm today. If any volunteers or hockey players want to scrape the hockey rink, it should be usable too.

Edit @ 10pm: both rink surfaces have been shoveled. The temperature is dropping. The rink will continue to be open for at least the next week if the current 7-day forecast holds true.

Please remember to shovel the ice if you use it. Leaving snow and ice chips on the surface creates more work for the next skaters and for the maintenance team. The less work we create for the maintenance team, the more consistently and longer we can keep the rinks open.
