Hoping for a better season than last year. We got one skate in and then a major ice storm turned our rink into a brush pile. Several large branches punctured right through the ice and liner. I've never seen my kids so disappointed. Anyways, this year the rink will be move to the side yard away from all the trees. I'm hoping the house will provide sufficient shade. I'll post some build pics after all the boards are up next weekend. He're to another cold MI winter. Cheers!
