About The Backyard Rink

There are already arenas in most of the places where it's possible to build an ice rink in your backyard, but that's not the point. There's something special about stepping out your back door, lacing up your skates and gliding around the ice -- better yet, banging the puck around with friends.

The people I know who do their own rinks are passionate about the project each year, comparing notes, adjusting strategy and learning a bit more each year. I'd love to see some of that sense of shared purpose emerging here, but basically I just love backyard rinks and want to see more.

There's already a good group devoted to Pond Hockey for your shots of hockey on lakes and ponds -- I'd like to keep this one devoted to rinks people have built in their own yards. More than one photo of the same rink is ok, but try to mix it up -- different views, times of day, and subjects keep things interesting. Thanks!
