Sky Tavern Hockey

Anticipating a nice turn out for our premiere Wild Women’s Wednesday, Olivia Boudette, a hockey coach from Michigan kindly volunteered to provide women with some powerskating and hockey skill exercises free of charge to help women up their game last night. The only problem is. No one showed. On a perfectly still night with good […]

Great game Sunday… thanks all for coming out and enjoying the new ice. Now that we have a resurrected rink here is the line up. Hockey games will be offered five nights a week as follows: Unless noted all games start at 5:30 Tiny Tot Tuesdays for younger or Never-Ever Skaters (parents are welcome on […]

With the help of an army of volunteers we worked all day into the night to bring the rink back to life. Next game: Sunday morning at 10:30!

All that snow has either blown off or melted down into the rink and its ready to shovel so we set up walls and plan some hockey! Calling all fans to come up with your skates this Saturday at 9:00 am and we will shovel till we can play so bring your hockey gear, a […]

Super large snow storms early season often spell doom for pond hockey and so it has come to pass. The weight of the snow pushed down on the thinner ice which forced water up into the snow which makes clearing impossible at this point. Today I went and surveyed and we have 12″ to 14″ […]

Not many times do we get to play in the afternoon due to warm temps but this weekend was an exception. Awesome game on perfect pond ice smooth as a babies bottom. We played many hours till day turned into night and beyond. Nobody wanted to quit but our bodies couldn’t take any more… Miller […]

Had a blast skating the first game of the season. So much fun under the Friday Night Lights! Lights, goalies, puck drop… action! We had a it all.

Had many helpers prep the ice for the first game. Trista Tookey, the renowned Reno Ice Coach (pictured below in the Mystery Alaska jersey) brought up fresh recruits to help shovel, scrape and prep the ice for the first game. Due to the forecast of the Snowmeggedon headed our way we didn’t erect the walls […]

The first clearing of the season is often a problem mixing water with snow and thin ice is enough to stress out anyone. Didn’t want our new blower sinking into Davey Jones locker so had to do a lot of hand work. Should be much easier once we get cold weather! In any event this […]

There has been interest in a day game this Saturday at Skytavern so we are on for a 3:00 pm game. Bring the kids and come on up, the skating will certainly be better than the skiing!
