@Elian Thaddeus Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@@DIYPETE Wow, love the rink. Good to see all the support from local companies. May i suggest a STHIL backpack blower might save you a lot of shoveling and help keep the rink cleanest. Much love from Canada =)
@@Eatyourdamnfood Quin and the crew is amazing and we are very thankful for their help! :) Great to hear from you Jordan, hope all is well my friend. Cheers!
Really amazing! I'm an older guy from southwestern Ontario, Canada and this brings back so many memories of my dad building backyard rinks for my brothers and I. They were never as large or as nice as this but, the memories they built have lasted a lifetime. I know it will be the same for your family. Two more thoughts. My dad would have given anything for that plastic ground sheet! We didn't have them back then and it took quite a bit of work to build a base so the water wouldn't keep running away. And, I laughed when I saw your part about the spring puck discovery! Been there, but hadn't thought of it in a long time. Wish I was your neighbour. Thanks for this.
Amazing, nothing like playing hockey, or even just skating outside. I grew up in Canada and had local rivers and ponds that froze over every year with a Tim Horton's within walking distance. Winter break was a literal sun-up to sun-down hockey game. People came and went as they pleased and joined in. Everyone was welcome. Now I live in the deep south in the US, and I miss this more than anything.
What a fantastic project. Growing up as a kid my father was in the Airforce and stationed in Glasgow Mt for 3 years. I have many fond memories after he and some neighbors got together and flooded our backyards for a skating/hockey rink. I have been searching through our family pictures to find some shots for scrapbooks. It was pretty rudimentary in shape and levelness, but we were kids and it was a blast. My mom would make hot chocolate for the tribe of kids that came and skated. Thanks so much for sharing this event and build. You made my day watching this. I just wish we would have had the technology back in the '50s and '60s. Felix
Hey Felix! Great to hear from you, so cool you spent time up in Glasgow. Outdoor rinks are so great for creating some of the best memories:) Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to say hi and tell me about your rink experiences. Cheers!
Thanks! There is quite the community of backyard ice rink builders and there are definitely a lot of cool rinks out there! We do enjoy ours though for sure. Cheers!
Dammit Pete! I know nothing nor so I care about hockey...however this was a very enjoyably video. Quite a process. Thanks for posting. You are missing one flag and you know which one I mean, GBR!
My grade school had an ice rink every year. They flooded the kickball and softball areas. They kept it shoveled and even had an attended warm room where you could change from boots to skates. They had the hottest most mouth scalding roof burning hot coco but you couldnt resist something warm. hahaha you are building great memories and bonds doing this. a joy to watch
Unbelievable. Coming from sunburnt Australia and watching this, I was in awe. Incredible views to the mountains, and the whole rink building process had me glued to the screen. Well done!, what a great occasion to look forward to each year when it starts to get chilly.
Hey Pete, You've done an awesome job with the rink. I'm sure you will have and had many great memories. Man, that takes alot of time and dedication to keep a rink that size maintained. Wow! Great job you are truly an awesome guy to do this for your family, friends and community. Keep up the great work and Blessings from Paradise, Newfoundland.
Greetings from Finland! One of the most enjoyable RUclipss videos I've seen. I love to see how detailed you told about building it and then show people using it with! Quality content! :)
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Lots and lots of work but you can see soooo many friends and family coming together to enjoy it. I wish you were my neighbor! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Best RUclips video ever!!!. Creating a bit of heaven on earth. Imagine driving on a road and suddenly see this. You stop, borrow skates, a stick and a puck. Best feeling in the world!!. Amazing work you put in!.
Thanks for watching Anders! Thanks for all the kind words, the rink truly has been magical and people love skating up here. Hope all is well my friend!
Mate this is absoloutely incredible! Your hard work, effort and determination brings an entire community together. Well done to everyone that pitched in and helped. Im from New Zealand but if I ever get the chancr Id love to skate on your ice. Keep up the great work!
@@DIYPETE more hands mean less work and i love the preemo location where you live,what you got is my dream land basically flat land with mountains in the background simply beautiful and im assuming each day you wake up you feel blessed for that scenery if you don't, move and give it to me lol
I love to see how many friends and community members volunteered to help. Such a cool story. I hope to have a rink like that to share with friends and family one day!
Thanks Big Mike! haha, not teeth lost or major injuries. Just a few pucks to the shin here and there, but the rule at the rink is you can't lift the puck during pickup hockey. Teamwork makes the dream work! :) Cheers!
I'd be finding a lot of new and creative ways to spend my free time too, if I was a Wild fan these days. Anything to keep from having to watch a game. JK, this is really impressive. Wish I knew someone with a backyard rink like this, I'd suddenly have a lot of excuses to pop in.
Hey! haha, yeah Wild definitely have room for a lot of improvement :) Thanks man, hope all is well and that you are getting in some pond hockey this winter!
If you have flat ground and a kit like this, it's totally doable. My rink definitely has things that are more challenging for sure. But you don't have to have big light posts or some of the add ons. Most folks don't have an 8 foot hill to level, which was my big challenge. Anyhow, check out some of the forums online about backyard rinks and you'll see a wide variety of folks building rinks of all sizes. Cheers!
@@DIYPETE I think fearblast more means like not a lot of people actually have the space or money to do this. Even NiceRinks small size is a couple thousand dollars
Gotcha. Growing up, my dad and I built a rink in the backyard using plywood and rebar. We still had to get a big white liner, but it was definitely a lot more budget friendly. I have some friends who built a very small rink in their yard that is 10 foot by 10 foot and they used 2x8 boards for the sides. They basically use it for puck handling practice since it is small, but it is still a great way to practice skills. Definitely lots of DIY options for those who want to save some money. Cheers
Wow thanks for sharing the year 2 build. My favorite part is all the community and hard work that has gone into building this rink. Love the rink, love the community, and love the videos...so please keep sharing the experience and we hope to make it up there one day to see your amazing DIY hockey rink!
yeah. i live in maine and a lot of my neighbors head down to florida for the winter. i always wonder why, winter brings so much, they miss out in the funnest things
@@DIYPETE the YT algorithm works in mysterious ways, and more often than not it disappoints, but i have to say this video was awesome, and i'm glad it showed up in my list!

great job im canadian n thats our version of the field of dreams ...warms my heart seeing the box of skates n equip ...nothing better than seeing a kid grab some gear and join in...awesome

Greetings from Norway! I was just talking to a few neighbours about building an icerink at our local school, and all of the sudden youtube algorithm sends me this video. Nicely done, I like it.
Great to hear from you! Awesome :) It would be amazing for you to help build an ice rink at a local school. Let me know if you run into any questions, and best of luck! It will be worth all the hard work. Cheers!
I’ve been playing hockey since I was 4 years old. I’m 42 now. This would be the ultimate to skate on a outside rink like this! I played outside in highschool one time. But it had shelter. Not open like this rink. Very nice build!
I am so jealous of your mid size rink and the 3 or 4 on hockey matches. The fact that you have loaner equipment is an incredible incentive for wannabes to join your group, make friends and improve their skills. I admire your passion and have but two suggestion; A Jet's banner and a King's banner. Skate hard, go top shelf or tweeners, and look for the open man, eh.
Hey Neil! Hope all is well man. Thanks for the kind words. I'll have to keep adding banners as I can over the years. A Kings banner will probably be up before I know it, as a guy that plays hockey in my town used to play goalie for them in the NHL. So will have to support! :) Will go top shelf for the next one, have a good one!

As a hockey player and fan I had to click on this just for fun...after a few minutes of watching I was hooked. Great project, great location and so impressed with the great family and friends joining in to get it done. Love to undertake that project here in NC but it was 70 degrees here a couple days ago. Swimming pool maybe?
Hey Andrew, great to hear from a fellow hockey player! Thanks for taking the time to say hi, and I hope all is well down in NC. I'd send ya some cold weather for a rink if I could!
Great story! I live in Fort Lauderdale and our team is the Florida Panthers. That would truly bring people closer and make new friends along the way. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸

As a hockey player and fan I had to click on this just for fun...after a few minutes of watching I was hooked. Great project, great location and so impressed with the great family and friends joining in to get it done. Love to undertake that project here in NC but it was 70 degrees here a couple days ago. Swimming pool maybe?
Hey Andrew, great to hear from a fellow hockey player! Thanks for taking the time to say hi, and I hope all is well down in NC. I'd send ya some cold weather for a rink if I could!
Very impressive and motivating. I admire your commitment and dedication.
Thanks Jay!
Your awesome my dude. People like you are true community members.

Great story! I live in Fort Lauderdale and our team is the Florida Panthers.
That would truly bring people closer and make new friends along the way. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
Thanks so much and I hope all is well down in Fort Lauderdale!
In the 50-60’s my Dad always built one every winter. Some of the best times to remember.
Very neat Robert!
Can't think of a more picturesque setting. Beautiful job.
Thanks for watching!
