Highwood ODR update - old rink is gone, new pavement down today. New boards, fencing and lights to follow.
The old girl served the community faithfully for quite a few decades and in recent years saw very active, twice a week pick up shinny and the annual Hockey Night in Highwood tournament.

Highwood ODR - new boards are up, fencing/glass is next (not sure which). I've heard there is no new lighting because they were given a quote of $140,000 for 8 new lights - seems like a crazy price.

This cold weather and snow is getting me excited for the ODR. Any ice popping up in the near future?

So I just got back from helping build the player benches at Highwood. It's been a 9 year adventure to get Highwood's rink replaced - pretty much all red tape that was the road blocks. In the end, the CA decided about a year ago just to build the rink using their own funds instead of waiting for the various grant organizations to get their shit in a pile and once the CA decided this then all of a sudden the grant organizations stepped up to the plate because it would of made them look bad to have a CA building infrastructure that is supposed to be built by grant monies.
Of course it still wasn't a smooth operation as the CoC was now involved including having one of their people assigned as a project manager because if the scope of the project except this assigned person wasn't really on site. This would be how we ended up with 18 inches of pavement over the old concrete/pavement base, yes, you read that correctly - 18 inches of new pavement.
Anyhow, new base with proper drainage, new aluminum boards with 1/2" puck board, new chain link fencing around the whole rink - only thing left is 8 new LED light standards which will be installed shortly, bases and wiring are in place. Cost of everything to build a new ODR - about $340,000..
Oh, and I just found out that Highwood's outdoor swimming pool will be shut down and get a new basin/rebuild in 2018..
Will fuck off, again.

Took the little guy out to Stanley Park on Saturday, needless to say he loved being pushed around in the stroller!

Lots of snow, so I imagine setbacks on getting that cleaned up first.

I have been taking the kids to Glenbrook for well over a month now. They got a great base in early November and even with the warm weather the ice stayed pretty good.
Anyone know if Haysbro has ice?
