Yeah I think in the Toronto area it's done no earlier than a specific date in December I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scubafrogman 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Try living in Kansas. Little chance of ever having an outdoor rink. Our temps fluctuate too much. One day it is 15 degrees and the next might be 70 degrees. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tokes 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2005 Two years ago we had useable hard ice by November 11th. Last year it was around the third week of November. They need to let the temps stay below zero for atleast a week for the ground to completely freeze before they lay down the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
