Rink Update – 2019-02-07

The rink is open today. Even though the outside temperature is getting warmer, the ice appears to be in good condition for skating. There is still some snow on the surface of the hockey rink that needs to be shoveled off, but the puddle rink is ready now.

Any assistance is appreciated to get the small layer of snow off the ice tonight is appreciated. We want the surface to be clean for tomorrow, when warmer temperatures, then colder temperatures and snow are expected. Clearing the snow and freezing rain off now will keep the ice in good shape for the weekend.

The rink is open again today after lots of volunteers worked yesterday evening and this morning to clear the snow and flood the ice surfaces.

A big thank you to all the volunteers that helped! We had 5 snowblowers going at the same time, and several people shoveling, too. It was an amazing concerted effort!

We need volunteers to supervise the following upcoming shifts:

  • 6pm-9pm tonight (Friday January 25th)
  • All 3 shifts on Sunday January 27th
    • 1pm-3pm
    • 3pm-5pm
    • 5pm-7pm

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

We closed the rink when it started raining yesterday. It is still closed today.

We will need to shovel the snow off the ice once the temperature goes below -5C again – hopefully this evening starting around 8pm – 9pm.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come and help shovel the ice surfaces tonight and tomorrow. Once the temperature is right, we need to complete a lot of work before the Winter Fun Day on January 26!
