Back here at my rink, I hope to write an article soon about the rink-building strategy that I will be trying for the first time this season. Here is a hint...

Hmm...
Some guys in Chicago were issued citations for using water from a fire hydrant to flood their backyard rink; you can read the article by clicking here. They started off with a garden hose to flood nearly 4000 square feet of rink; I'm sure that this was taking much too long, so they decided to borrow 250 feet of fire hose from a firefighter relative and switched to the hydrant. Great idea, but wouldn't the firefighter have known that it is illegal to use a hydrant & fire hose for anything other than putting out fires? I think the word "borrowed" should have had quotation marks around it in that article!

Hello Chris,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Adam Huras, I am a reporter with the Telegraph-Journal newspaper.
One of the Christmas features I am writing this week to run in the paper over the holidays is on New Brunswickers who make backyard rinks.
This morning I stumbled across your blog – which is great by the way – and I hoping I could give you a call to chat. Send me a quick email when it would be best to reach you.
Thank you in advance,
Adam.
