Warm weather ravages rinks
Hockey players will have to trade their skates in for rubber boots if they continue to use outdoor skating rinks.
Prince Albert’s Park’s Manager, Tim Yeaman said the above-average temperatures and sunny days have taken their toll on ice quality.
“It’s just at the point where the ice is starting to break up now. To try and refreeze it over-night is not working,” Yeaman said. “Once we get into these double-digit temperatures, we’re probably not going to be looking at doing much maintenance to many of these rinks.”
