Rink Update – 2019-02-26

There was a lot of damage to both rink surfaces as a result of people walking and skating on the ice when it was soft and from skaters leaving piled snow on the ice surface. Please stay off the ice when the “Rink Closed” signs are out!

On the plus side, the ice and snow build up around the boards has largely melted away! Once we flood a couple of times, it will be better for hockey than before.

Repair work started last night and continues today. We are attempting to complete sufficient work in order to open tonight, but we are not quite there yet.

We need volunteers to supervise the following upcoming shifts:

  • 6pm-9pm Thursday February 28th
  • 6pm-9pm Friday March 1st
  • 3 of 3 shifts on Saturday March 2nd
    • 11am-2pm
    • 2pm-5pm
    • 5pm-8pm
  • 2 of 3 shifts on Sunday March 3rd
    • 1pm-3pm
    • 3pm-5pm

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

Based on the current 14-day forecast, it looks like we might be able to stay open until Monday March 11th (and beyond) – but we need supervisors! Please sign up at http://signup.com/go/AYVqZth and/or notify Adam.
