Distance to nearest ice-rink

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a hard time making it to the rink on a regular basis?

I'm a beginner and i'm looking to get better, but its just rough to get to the rink.

I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh and there is no rink in my town, so its a 30 minute drive just to get to stick/puck. With gas prices at almost $3 a gallon - that further complicates matters

If I had a rink in my town I would go multiple times per week, but I find myself only going to the rink every once or two weeks.

I've got 2 within about 30 mins from me in Tampa, FL. I go to the one that is farther because the ice is nicer. Try to carpool, it's cheaper :P

:blink: $3 a gallon?!?!?! OMG!!! :blink: Here in the uk its $2 a LITRE.

1 US gallons = 3.7854118 litre That means we're paying $7.57 a gallon.

o yeah theres another one 10-20 minutes away and in a couple years there gona turn that into a 3 plex so i could have 14 rinks under 40 mins away if my math is right but right now only 12 and people still complain that there isnt enough ice time to go around and also one artifical ice surface too.
