MTSU Ice Hockey

Once again, this past winter season our family had lots of fun playing outdoors on our backyard ice rink. Last year, I added ice paint and team logos to our ice surface making it resemble like an NHL rink surface! The year before, I added extra lights to better illuminate the backyard ice skates rink.

There are many things to consider and many questions to answer if you want to successfully build your own rink.

What size will my rink be? Will I use a plastic rink liner to make ice? Will I build my rink myself?

Do I have a larger budget and someone else will build my ice rink? Will Mother Nature freeze the ice or will my rink be refrigerated?

What temperatures are adequate in order to build an outdoor skating rink?

Please take time to figure the type of rink you need an answer these questions before you attempt to build your own ice rink. For more information, instruction and advice of how to build your own backyard ice skating rink visit my page on how to build your own
