I’m a sucker.
Each fall, just before Halloween, the catalog from an outdoor ice-rink supplier lands on my desk. Inside are pictures and pictures and pictures of backyard ice rinks parents just like me have built for their kids.
Each year, I look through that catalog for ideas I can steal for my rink--things like painting lines on the ice, new ideas for lighting the rink, new ideas for using netting to trap errant pucks (and keep them out of my neighbor’s windows) and so on.
