Winter Ice Hockey Fun

The outdoor rink at Jim Doan’s house is a lot of work. Mostly for Jim, but a handful of us help as possible.

The core group of helpers is Scott Poliskey, Mike “Eddie” Edwards, Jeff Rouse, Charles Partrige, Tom Hall, Tom Murray, Steve Ragge, Paul Abernathy, Gerald Edwards Kevin O’Brien and a bunch more chip in from time to time. Sorry if I’m missing anyone. Scott, Eddie and Gerald were key helpers this year to get it going. I put in about ten hours with a few shovels of the rink.

The ice is looking great! We do have an expansion crack across the center, so no fancy turns mid ice. We will put up cones.

Our goal is to skate two or three times a week on the rink as allowed by Mother Nature. This week is Thursday, tonight at 7 pm and Saturday at 5 pm.

The most games we have had on the rink in a season is eight. We may exceed that this season!

The Doan’s Winter Classic Tournament is scheduled for Saturday, February 8th. Arrive around 9 am to be one of the luck 24 skaters and 4 goalies to be selected for the round robin tournament. Four teams of 6 skaters. Two 10 minute periods of play. We have filled the tournament the last few years, so register and arrive on time. Many bring food, others chip in to help fund the activities with a donation to the Jim’s rink fund. We are done by 1 pm or so.

Mature skaters only. Looking for 40 and over who just want to play and have fun, no super stars:)
