Creating ice for outdoor skating rinks can be a complicated process! Factors such as outside air and ground temperature, amount of sun and snow, wind levels and type of surfacing the ice is made on can all play a part in how quickly rinks can be opened to the public. Typically, our crews can have a rink ready in 14 days, if the temperature is consistently around 10 degrees Fahrenheit and there is little to no snowfall.
Maintenance and operations teams are responsible for clearing snow on 90+ miles of trails and sidewalks, over 30 acres of parking lots and the entrances of 40+ buildings and facilities. Trails are cleared by pickup and plow or a tractor and blower depending on the severity of the storm and level of snow fall. Typically, all routes are cleared in eight hours, but large amounts of snow and high winds can sometimes complicate and delay the process.
This is a non-competitive league with no slap shots and no checking. Teams will be divided with the players that are on the ice. If the score gets out of hand or players leave, then teams will be re-divided. Required equipment includes gloves, stick, skates and helmet. Must be 18 years and older to play.
Fee: $10 per night
Time: Wednesday evenings, November - February - 6:30-8:30 pm
