Sky Tavern Hockey

Enjoyed another great game this Friday night and it looks to be the last for awhile. The weather just won’t cooperate this season but we sure had a lot of fun over the hours on ice!

Due to the wonderful work from our Ice Corps volunteers, and after removing many feet of snow, we are back in the saddle for hockey Friday Night. Please say thank you to the Kevins, Lena, Julia and Olivia next time you see them for moving a whole lotta snow to make some holiday hockey possible! […]

We never say die when it comes to hockey, right? Nate and I finally went to the rink today and dug some test holes… surprisingly the rink averaged a foot to 16″ of snow. The light snow and cold weather has kept the rink in pretty good shape underneath all that snow. With some help […]

This next storm system this weekend is a monster with 3 to 4 feet forecast between Sat morning and Monday night. Maybe the wind will help blow it all off but it is looking dismal from a hockey perspective and excellent from a drought and ski perspective. We are pulling the boards off this afternoon […]

Sorry folks but I need help up here if we are going to keep the rink open… had to pull half the boards and need the ice scraped so I can resurface. Spent a couple hours today but the job means many hands to make it viable. If we don’t get some help on this […]

Cleared the rink again today after yesterday’s snow. We can have a couple open games between storms tonight and tomorrow night if folks are interested. There will be a little scraping tonight and reinstalling of walls as I had to pull them since we couldn’t get enough snow off with our blower problems and the […]

Greetings all, That being said we just couldn’t do it today. Nate has a 50 hour a week job in manufacturing and to use 2 days off was painful which is why I just couldn’t ask him again. As it is still snowing as I write this since this storm just won’t seem to go […]

Yesterday as Nate and I were trying to blow around the outside of the rink to get the snow weight off the ice the Toro snowblower once again crapped out and we barely got it back to the shed. If anyone needs a little exercise I’ve got the perfect solution. We need some help up […]

Pictured here are Julia and Bonnie clearing the pond of up to 24″ of snow yesterday so the game could go on. Together with Kevin Morazas (AKA: The Human Excavator) and myself we managed to clear the rink and prep for the game in about 4.5 hours yesterday afternoon. Nate and I will go back […]
