Mitch,
I didn't see the Zamboni anywhere...is it parked in your garage? :lol:
Very "sophistocated" version of what my dad used to do in our backyard...simply took the hose and set it on spray.... covered nearly the whole backyard area....(admittedly, a small area) until he got about an inch or two of ice...he'd stay out there literally for hours, getting it ready for us to destroy basement window... (directly behind one of the "goals". :wink:
Education our Challenge, Excellence our goal. (look it up)

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Great rink!

He has gone over the boards only twice. They keep the pucks on the ice. All the boards are 2' high which compensates for the slope in my yard.
