Outdoor Rinks Open

[S13_Ryan]

I know its still a bit early. Ice is super delayed this year and I`m sure certain rinks will be ready before others. A lot of people here are probably willing to make the drive to other parts of the city so...
Post up rinks and directions to the ones that are frozen and ready for some puck.

thanks

[Team_Mclaren]

its +6 today, i doubt ANY outdoor rings would be open

[Gabe182]

I went to a rink yesterday by westhills with some buddys. Ice sucked, but whatever its hockey

[S13_Ryan]

read my post. i said i know its still a bit early. i do know theres ice in some places im really not picky

[-STi-]

This would be nice to know. Its apparently going to be cold as hell for the next little while so hopefully with the outdoor rinks will be around shortly. It's been a long winter so far without the rinks that's for sure.

bump

[vengie]

fingers crossed for my home rinks being open after the cold ass weekend coming up!! (haysboro, canyon meadows)

[superman1]

any rinks in the nw open?

[S13_Ryan]

alright guys. after this weekend im sure theres bound to be a couple rinks open around the city. i heard something about a willowpark one in the SE being open. im gonna head over there with my buddy today and check it out.

Update as you find out more

[rvd]

Inglewood upto no good is open.

[S13_Ryan]

Hidden Valley was iced last Tuesday and I played since Wednesday but it's not perfect yet. Hamptons is iced also and I believe Whitehorn is good.

[S13_Ryan]

Alright. so i went on a trip today for the southeast guys. copperfeild, new brighton and all those areas in the far southeast were being flooded just as i pulled up and all said they would be ready by the end of the week.

I better go get my New Brighton club membership card made... I've been procrastinating since April, this will be worth it though!

[403ep3]

Gonna be hitting the rinks soon. I hope it's not too cold.

:werd: ..a few buddies own homes in New Brighton, the rink is one of the best in the city...seems like the outdoor rink season is getting shorter every year:(

[sl888]

Went by Westhills today and it was locked up

[jeremyn]

I went to check out the one in edgemont off of JLB.
Its flooded but needs a good shoveling.
Has barely been skates on.
Theres also a nice big hill right by the rink with a prettty good jump made, I brought my snowboard and did a few runs. Its prettty scary if you go all the way up the hill.

[-STi-]

Drove past Haysboro and Canyon Meadows last night.
Canyon Meadows was being flooded as I pulled in. Haysboro had people skating on it. Only one rink seemed to be open. Also Oakridge had no lights on, so who knows if its even been flooded or not.

[jeremyn]

Hamptons is up and running, lots of people today tho.

[S13_Ryan]

inglewood, new brighton, canyon meadows, mckenzie towne are alll open. new brighton ice is minty

[crx/gsr]

[westbeach70]

[Zigo]

Where is the one in Sandstone? Is it near the school or anywhere on 14th?

[Zigo]

Yea, its right when 14th turns into country hills. Its in between two schools.

Thanks dude. I'll check it out. I hate how Hamptons and Hidden Valley have schedules.

[95EagleAWD]

Anything in the NW? Like Valley Ridge/Silver Valley Park?!

And a place to rent skates for my sister-in-law?

[l/l/rX]

hrmm the jeans should have been easy to spot since everyone was wearing sweats including me. but i cant recall.
I was the asian there...the oldest looking one.

i think i might go play tomorrow for a bit.

[Zigo]

Maybe we should have a beyond hockey game one day?

[Team_Mclaren]

if anyone is going to the hamptons ring i'll be up for it. Its usually pretty busy on Christmas day too

[suen_boi]

Citadel and Edgemont are flooded. The Varsity one isn't up yet but usually is after the first cold snap! Lack of volunteers, maybe?

[Chester]

Went to my community rink (hamptons) and it was shoveled

[slick2404]

BUMP!

Any rinks flooded?

[sh0ko]

^nothing in the sw

both strathcona, signal hill and springbank seem to be out of action so far

[Moonracer]

the one by crescent heights high school is good to go.

[got_mike33]

How is this the 3rd thread on this topic? There is one 3 down from this one... :guns:

[speedog]

Highwood (central NW) has had skaters on it since mid-early November, boards repainted over summer, fully fenced plus new lighting 2 years ago.

For those that live in Highwood, please consider volunteering on their outdoor rink replacement project - approximately $400,000 will be spent to completely replace this rink including new cement base, new NHL style boards with (probably) fencing on top (plexiglass too vulnerable to vandals), new lighting (LED?) and seating areas. Artificial ice was considered, but the costs of running a plant would bankrupt the community association inside of 2-3 years.

[timdog]

Any decent rinks in the McKenzie towne area? I live in Copperfield so I am not sure if I am allowed to go to the new Brighton one... Someone was saying something about a membership?

[95EG6P]

whitehorn and temple are open

[r3ccOs]

brighton/cranston/and the lakes themselves require a membership or a drop in price (I think at Cranston)

however... the mckenzie towne one and the one in copperfield seem to be open (though signs say closed)

[DeleriousZ]

anyone know some decent outdoor rinks in the SE area? Thinking like dover, or is it too ghetto around here? lol.

[r3ccOs]

anyone up for a skate somewhere in the SE? mckenzie/douglasdale/etc...

[nonofyobiz]

I was told that Copperfield opened today. I've lived here 4 yrs now and have never gone out so I'm for sure going start this year. Hopefully there will be a bunch of ppl out.

was just there... ice could be better, but having boards is infinity better than not having them

I'll be out tomorrow probably at 8

[speedog]

How is it that Copperfield just opened when other rinks have been going for almost a month now?

[r3ccOs]

who knows... wanna play?
