I don’t play hockey but do live in an area that gets 400+ inches of snow a year so I do other ice/snow sports like skiing but these vids never disappoint.

The yearly rink video is my favorite one on your channel... We have a big backyard (not Utah big, but big enough) and I'm now working on getting the wife on board with making one of the Nice Rinks in our backyard for our 3 boys. Looks like an insane amount of work, but it also looks methodical and therapeutic like cutting the grass.
@DIYPETE3 ай бұрын
Hey Josh! Thanks man, I appreciate it! That's awesome you are getting the wife on board. -- Honestly, I think it is such great thing to do to create memories for the family and kids that they'll never forget. I still have a ton of memories skating on the rink my Dad built us 3 boys. ( I am the middle of 3 ). - And now we are doing the same for our family. Your 3 boys will love it, get out a lot of energy, and I'm sure sleep better haha. Plus you can always tell what kids have a rink as their skills increase exponentially. All things your wife will be excited about. It is a lot of work, although if you don't have as much wind and snow as we do up in the foothills, things will be a little better. All sizes of rinks are great -- I have quite a few friends with rinks around 25x40 / 30x50 etc and they get lots of use. -- Resurfacing late at night is very therapeutic. -- If I can help in convincing any more just let me know. As long as the weather cooperates so you get a good season, it is totally worth it. Cheers

Hey Luke! That is awesome. Congrats on the new home build. And that 6 acres will be a blast to customize, and to put that rink on! Looking forward to seeing that rink and you'll have to email a photo of it next year. I'd love to see it! Holler if you run into any questions I may be able to help out with. Cheers!

I did get some skating in and there was enough snow to build our annual toboggan run. We launch from a picnic table off our deck (and put plywood to protect the stairs) and then have it weave in the backyard as it goes downhill.

I put up an ODR every year, this year was by far one of the worst because of the warm weather and then the snow right after, still had fun. I have the EZ ice system which is nice because no stakes which is perfect as my rink sits on both grass and asphalt. Love the Videos, they give me inspo to put my rink up every year.
@DIYPETE3 ай бұрын
Hey man! I hear you about all the warm and then cold weather. Such a crazy season. We luck out since our elevations is a mile high, but still had the darn fluctuations. I've heard great things about the EZ rinks as well! -- and it sounds like a perfect situation for your rink. Because we have the 4 foot boards and get so much wind, I'd be toast without stakes, but would love to go stake free if I could! Thanks for the feedback, hopefully we all have more consistent cold temps next ODR season. Thanks for following along each year and take care! Cheers

Hey! Thanks for your patience and for taking the time to watch the rink builds each year. I've never been to Sweden but would like to visit someday. We've been to Norway as my family originally came over from the Lillehammer area, but need to get to Sweden as well. It was a really good mix of snacks Martin sent. My wife said those Swedes really know how to make a good chocolate bar, and said they are better than anything we have in the States :) My hockey rink videos are most viewed by folks in the USA, followed by Canada, then Sweden! Definitely fun to get to chat with fellow hockey players and rink builders around the world. Thanks for taking the time to reach out and have a great weekend!
@Lill3Night3 ай бұрын
Oh it’s definitely my pleasure to enjoy your builds and videos. Welcome to Sweden when you get a chance and make sure you eat some chocolate bars while you’re here hehe! We do know how to make good candy. I have a brother living in Seattle so my visits to him have been many through the years, I always bring lots of candy and potato chips with me..more so than clothes and personal stuff haha! I’m not a player or rink builder myself I just enjoy people doing stuff with their hands, crafting and building. Keep it up and hope the knee is healing well! Take care of yourself and the family.

Next year you should do a goal line LED and also add lines to the liner and make it look more professional. Great Rink! :)
@DIYPETE3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the ideas! I like the idea of painting lines as well for a professional look during the day. My hesitation is the color of the line absorbing sunlight and causing melting where the lines are. ( if you leave a puck, goal, or even a leaf gets on it will absorb energy from the sun and melt the area quickly. Do you know how the paint does outdoors? If it would work well I'd love to try it. And if anyone is reading this discussion and has tried the ice paint outdoors I'd love to hear about your experience with it. Thanks guys!
