First time "builder" here. Hoping to finish up the build of my 20x40 tomorrow morning. Last year on a whim I packed down the snow in the yard and went the old fashioned way of making a rink. Needless to say my neighbors though I was nuts running a sprinkler at night in the first week of January!

Nothing can compare to the evenings spent out on the ice with your young kids helping them develop the love of the game you have grown up playing. Can't wait for the weather to turn so that we might still get a good 6+ weeks of backyard hockey!
