I'm a second year rink builder, and have learned a number of lessons thanks to the great information shared by the community. Looking forward to the upcoming season if the weather ever behaves....

My 7 year old son has been playing hockey for 2 years now, and the backyard rink is a family favorite. He was able to get a couple hours of skate time in this weekend, and can't wait for the weather to turn.

Hey Mike...welcome! We're still not filling here in NH, and may not for another week or so. But hopefully once the weather turns it turns for good!
