Sweet. I imagine they'll will be packed, since only a few rinks are open. Regardless, I'll be dropping by.

I do believe the Rinks at High park and Laurier will be open soon if they already have not been. Laurier has a brand new rink that was just finished this fall.

Royal Gardens on 117th St and 40th Ave just opened tonight. Apparently the word was out because there were a ton of people there. Like 10 a side for a couple hours. No cost. Ice was snowy but I'm thinking that was because of the sheer number of people there. Twas good to get out skating again!

 

[bretzky15]

Anyone know if any south east rinks are open (aka Greenview, Michaels Park...etc)

 

[awesomo]

any word on heritage/century park, millwoods locations open?

Actually, I'm all for mandatory helmets.

Not being I want everyone to be covered in bubble wrap for their own protection, but because in a game if someone without a helmet knocks heads with someone with a helmet, it could be an issue.

No ideal, i'll head there this weekend and see if people are up on the ice or not.

I agree with the helmet rule at most rinks. The only thing bad about it is the limit to what you can wear you keep your ears warm. I prefer a toque, but it doesn't fit under my helmet.

 

[ales83fan]

Most rinks in castledowns are open on the northside.

I liek downtown, so finding a rink has been hard so far.

I haven't heard anything. I back onto the field which has the rink in Heritage Lakes and I haven't seen anyone on it even spraying! I think St. Albert's way behind.

 

[sepHF]

Lots of rinks open on the northside, just got back from Beacon Heights and it's in pretty good shape, little rough around the boards but hey.

 

[sync]

greenfields has amazing ice for the time of year and aspen gardens is gonna be open soon.

 

[sdimedru]

Its purely liability reasons when it comes to the City.
