2011 Stanley Cup


mybackyadricerink.com Ezine took a 'vacation' in June.

We're back in July 2011 to offer belated congratulations to the Boston Bruins, the 2011 Stanley Cup winners. They were clearly the better team of the season and series.

It's a great read, and the picture embodies the over-the-top exultation that accompanies the Stanley Cup winners.

For Canucks fans, at least the dream lives on.

Were you There?

Did you attend any playoff games? Were you in Vancouver on the night of their Game 7 loss to the Bruins?

Now that the dust has settled and the pundits have opined, mybackyardicerink.com would like to know your thoughts, experiences and opinions about the Bruins win or the unfortunate chaos in Vancouver following the Canucks' loss.

Share it with us, including any pictures, if you took any. Just go to Your Backyard Ice Rink and speak your piece!

Postseason: Typical of the off-season, the NHL Draft has occurred, with a gifted Ryan Nugent-Hopkins going to the Edmonton Oilers with the overall first pick. Get the full run-down at Sports.yahoo.com

Ice Rink Refrigeration


Some people put in swimming pools. Others put in ice rink refrigeration. The out-of-pocket expense is very similar.

EMERGENCY REMINDER!


If the idea has been building in the back of your mind that THIS the year you'll install a refrigerated ice rink, then NOW is your last opportunity for this year to complete your research and get the installation scheduled! Don't wait till September - by late summer, the installers may be completely booked for the next several months.

  • Decide where you want the refrigerated rink, whether a permanent or portable refrigerated rink, and how big.
  • Choose which company is best for your needs
  • Schedule the initial interview and site visit. The ice rink company includes the visit as part of the total cost, and will help you with some of the more technical choices.
  • Get your project on the install list asap!


Why get a refrigerated ice rink?

The answers are individual and varied. They could pertain to your professional career or those of your children. It could have something to do with the sheer joy of skating, of exercise and entertainment throughout a long cold winter, of enjoying the thrill of skating in pleasant weather.

The reasons and choices are yours, and more folks are deciding that refrigeration is worth the expenditure. For more info and what to do next, go to Refrigerated Backyard Ice Rinks
