    If you set it up here, it would be a swimming pool. We have had so much rain and more to come.

    On the prairies in Canada just about everyone used to made a rink in their back yard. A lot of our good hockey players came from rinks like these.

    The rink will definitely help their progression as players. It’s 20x40 and will allow them to get conditioning, puck handling and accuracy. Once the ice sets we will set the remainder of gear up.

    Math come out to 4720 gallons of water to fill the rink. I am not sure the fortitude of attendees of a Alaska screw chinaCovid GTG would be able to fill the rink as Jack Straw, described. Probably just have the fire department fill, as I don’t think my 500i that’s in route to the porter will be ready in time for the kids need ice.
