As announced last year the Rink Rejuvenation subcommittee has been working tirelessly to secure new rink boards and netting for the 2019-2020 season. We are pleased to announce that they have completed the goal and in addition, we’re able to contract the regrading and sodding of the field (you may have seen work being done in the past couple of weeks).
The new rink boards will be delivered on Oct. 28th and set up will happen that day as well. The Rink Committee is looking for volunteers to assist that day with unloading and to learn the new set-up procedure. If we are short on volunteers we will continue set-up on Oct 29th.
This year the Rink Committee will be offering a new grassroots hockey program. The program is called Grassroots Hockey League. it will take place on WEDNESDAY evenings and all details and sign-up information can be found on their webpage: http://grassrootshockey.ca.
Stay tuned for details about other initiatives.
