Your ice hockey fun begins here!

We are halfway through July, and the rink is a cool place to hang out and play with my “old” friends. 

Crystal Fieldhouse is repairing a glycol link in the South rink. Work is progressing, but for economic reasons, they are delaying the full completion until mid-August. Those compressors in the back take a beating in this hot weather.

Just to remind you, the rink will be hosting the Sunday morning league. I’m sure I’ll be subbing during the beginning of the season for Budtenders, but I plan to skate Mondays and Wednesdays primarily, with some Fridays mixed in. Contact Darrel or the rink with any questions about the early Sunday league.

Rory Sayers is working with Dort Event Center to start up a 50+ league on Tuesday nights. I’ve sent over the interest form submissions to Rory. He can be reached at 586-651-0000 for any questions about the upcoming league. They have enough skaters to run the four-team league. There won’t be more teams as the game times would be too late.

Gears Beer Hockey is continuing its dominance for the Summer League with a 5-1 record and only 9 goals against. (8 if you subtract the error where Murray swept the puck in the net on an attempted crease clear:) We are halfway through the short season. Summer nights at the rink are unique. While the locker rooms can be brutal, it is a relief to skate around. After the skate, it is generally a bit cooler outside, also. I’m considering a BBQ one night at the end of the season. Let me know if you are interested in a late-night burger after our games!

My Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein CBD Balls are available by request. $20 covers the cost to make up 20. They are 50 mg CBD and about 3 mg THC. Recipe is available on iHemp Michigan.

CBD Salve or Balm is available. I’m making up another batch, and the summer version has more beeswax to remain stable in the hot weather. A one-ounce deodorant-style tube is only $20 cash and has over 3,000 mg of CBD. The 2 oz tin is $50.
FYI: It will not get you high or cause you to fail a drug test.
