We have ice! Will it be cold enough for long enough to actually get a skate in? Hoping for next weekend!

Another flood layer and the M&M Sportsplex is back in business after a New Year’s thaw.

Temperatures are looking great for the next two weeks!

A little sibling rivalry and wrestling match elevated the status of the M&M Sportsplex this evening.

Getting skates in when we can when temps hover around the freezing mark.

Overnight snowfall made slush in the outdoor rink which is perfect! Freezing temps in the forecast looks like skating on the weekend to kick off the holidays!

The M&M Sportsplex is full and ready for the cold temperatures!

Anyone up for a cold plunge, before the ice forms?

Striking evening at the M&M Sportsplex. Won’t ever get tired of the beautiful sunset over the rink. No filter required.

Nothing to see here… just snowblowing my lawn! 15cm of the sticky stuff and liner hasn’t arrived yet.

January 2025 update: La Niña is here

La Niña is here! Wondering about implications for the #backyardrink amongst other issues… www.climate.gov/news-feature...

After a long wait, La Niña conditions developed in December. What makes this La Niña unusual?

When the weather isn’t up to par for the ODR, you add to the rink.

Made this mini-pond hockey net with leftover materials. Hoping to add a pass rebounder to the back.
