Backyard Rink


13' x 23' Backyard Rink

Best. Purchase. Ever.

"No more pictures dad!  I'm playing hockey, this is serious."

For $99 bucks at Canadian Tire the backyard is transformed into our own personal rink to do whatever we want & stay on as long as we want. Oh and of course, there's always lot's of hot chocolate available.

This is the same rink I purchased last year, and planned a bigger one this winter.  But with our family growing again this year, time just ran out.  So NEXT year, I plan to make it twice as wide.  For a 5 year old though, he has great fun on it.

Tip - Do a big flood your first time, then only do very small floods the rest of the winter.  Just think how little a zamboni puts down.
