~Peace~
Winter is my favorite season for many reasons. Outdoor skating rinks are definitely one of those reasons. #hockey #bauer #odr #outdoorrink #promosky

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.

I watered my ice so it would grow🧐🌱🧊

(-10c with no wind)

The rink is downhill from the house, so I used a winter sleigh to transport 6 large garbage containers of warm water

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.

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.

The water is rising in the M&M Sportsplex.

Having additional lumber handy helps as you fill!

Before we let the M&M Sportsplex head off into the sunset, we’re hopeful for some March skating on Sunday and Monday! The rink might look a little different, but could have some fun! Best season yet!
