Hey everyone
Anybody know if outdoor rinks are ready yet? If so which ones?

I'm not even sure where the rinks in Crestview will be. I'll have to look into that.
And we should try to set up a meet or something and get a little game going.
Question about making your own outdoor rink:
We have ice roads out at Ingolf (just inside the Ontario border) to all the cabins and I was thinking that since my boy will be old enough to skate this year I would like to shovel out a little rink for him on the ice.
How does everyone smooth over their ice surfaces? is it just flooding over an even surface? I would probably need some boards + leveling to make this work, i'm thinking.
I think the Victoria and Hobson FGCC rinks are open.
I haven't made ice on ice, but you could just use a hose and put some water over top. hot water would actually work pretty good if you can rig it, as it would melt and flatten the top layer.
Exactly - when I made my rink a few years ago, that's exactly what we did - use a hose rigged from inside to get lukewarm water out to create the ice. A couple of days later, in below-zero weather, use warmer water and a few buckets of slightly salted water. Then over next day or two you can smooth it out with warm water and a squeegee.
Yesssss!
I have a couple friends that aren't the greatest skaters but really want to play.
You'll fit in great, HS
