dw91 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 MSH outdoor hockey game(s) over winter break? I'd drive up to Minnesota for that if it were more than one game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MN old but fast 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 The City of Eagan MN keeps great ice at the Sky Hill, Quarry, Bridle Ridge, Goat Hill, and Rahn all winter. All sites are 2 rink sites. The sites have asphalt painted white. The city does not have to wait for frozen ground to flood. The ice was good this year 12/10/9. Hopefully, we get another good winter for ice. We skate ebery day. How many MSH folks are from MN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junior 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 are there any outdoor rinks big enough? ^.- other than city hall...doubt we can book thatI know there is an outdoor rink on bathurst and i think another one on coxwell. Could probably get the ice at one of those locations. Not sure if any of the small lakes/ponds allow skating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9 Unit 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 oh ye i went to one...its skate at your own risks now...they don't even have a dude to check the ice now, the cities getting so cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sid 3 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 You can get a city permit for any rink to book it out for a special occasion it is quite cheap to get a permit. I know guys who play on a reagular basis. If you are talking about playing outdoors Toronto is the best place for it with all the rinks we have. We are spolied that way. I was really shocked to see the rinks in Montreal. Made me realise how good we got it.http://www.cityrinks.ca/wiki/wiki.php?n=Li...Page#mapofrinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usahockey22 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Some MSH pond hockey would be a great event for the coming winter, though I think Toronto is a bit of a stretch for many of the people on here. WI, MN, or MI seem to be more in the ballpark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dw91 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 Are we still thinking about some sort of MSH pond hockey event? Outdoor hockey weather is a ways off, but if there's quite a few people from out of state that want to do this, maybe we should start thinking more about it/ planning for it now. Just a thought. Im down for wisconsin or minnesota Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MN old but fast 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 We have a game every Sunday at noon on the outdoor ice at Sky Hill in Eagan. All are welcome. The City of Eagan has great rinks. The rinks have an asphalt surface painted white. We don't have to wait till the gound is frozen to flood. We usually have ice a week before the surrounding towns. The city has Sky Hill, Goat Hill, Bridle Ridge, Quarry, Rahn, etc. All are two rink set ups with great warming houses. If there is enouogh interest I can see about reserving a rink.
