Our new rink

[scorpionhockey55 0]

Here is the rink that will be arriving monday. From Minnesota, It's 4 years old. I can't WAIT to have our own rink to practice at. Hopefully we can get it up before the secrhl season opener for a few skates. I have never assembled a rink before. Any helpful advice?

Congratulations :) You have no idea how lucky you guys are to have your own school rink. We have to travel almost 2 hours to practice.

I know...I'm trying to stay humble about everything but its just so dern exciting! haha. i know its a long drive but im sure we will be looking to scrimmage some teams in the future. dont know if that would be something you guys would be interested in or not. id have to run it by coach and everything too.

It is a possibility for sure. So can you go on the rink whenever you want to?

yep. pretty sure coach is gonna set up his office in the building, so as long as he is there we can just drop by and skate whenever. i guess the dance team and the cheerleaders are going to use the building as well but i dont think that will interfere (too much haha) with the rink. they will just use another part of the building.

its just a short drive off campus. probably about a mile or two. its going in a warehouse building. its kind of old but its in really good condition. its a temporary fix as the school is already talking about building a rink on campus.

Good luck with the new rink...I played for Truman State University in MO when college roller hockey was first starting out (graduated in 1998!), and we were lucky enough to have the school install a sport-court "multi-purpose" room in the new rec center they built at the time. It wasn't a full-sized rink, but was good enough to practice! It was installed thanks to the roller hockey team lobbying for it, and was ours to play on whenever we wanted to for the first year, but afterwards a lot of other clubs on campus (for example, the ultimate frisbee club, what a joke!), were allowed to book their own times for the rink, meaning we got bumped. And we were nationally ranked when I was there! I hope that doesn't happen to you guys, guard that rink as if your life depends on it! Nothing like getting out of class and having your own rink to skate on.
