Thread: Rinks closing?

Please post or PM me if you know of any rinks that are closing. I want to get some boards (cheap) for a backyard rink.

As much contact info as possible would be great.

And I want to move in next door to you, invest in and share that backyard rink! Haha, j/k....but seriously, I do.

Are you somewhere cold where its possible or are you doing a synthetic?

Are there in fact more rinks on death watch? I haven't played hardly at all since 2004 ..... to veteran rec players: do you think rink traffic has decreased since the lockout? i.e., have hockey's youth and/or adult rec levels been hurt by the lockout?

The boards are still up in Hermosa Beach. Give public works a call.

Two other ideas.
Redondo pulled out the TIDES boards about a year ago, who knows if they still have them.
Bay Harbour just redid the rink, they might still have the boards in the back?

Any luck?

Left a bunch of messages.

No place seems to know what they want to do, and the public ones seem like they would rather get bids to demo the whole thing.

Philadelphians have their way with the Spectrum

Maybe you'll get another opportunity in February before they blow up The Igloo.

Just got an email from someone at Hermosa Beach, it seems that they just got approval to demo the rink there. Keeping my fingers crossed. Does anyone know what kind of condition the boards are in? This is the South Park rink.
