The RinkFor the not so ready for prime-time players, coaches, referees, and the people that have to live with them. Discuss experiences in local leagues, coaching tips, equipment, and training.
LOL, the only rink we have was not meant for hockey and they had to cover the glasses with those monstrosities. They still have the railings though which can really hurt some of the taller guys, luckily I'm short enough that my shoulders are under those railings when on knee bend.

Never seen that before, interesting. Especially the railing.

Quite common in metropolitan cities where ice hockey isn't a mainstream sport.
There are some malls with recreational skating rinks inside that's not specifically catered to playing hockey, but people eventually play there anyway. Hence you'll see a lot of these weird, patched up rinks in Asia in particular.

Do you live in Asia by any chance?
We are supposed to get a decent hockey rink in August'13, what I don't understand is we Asians tend to build mediocre rinks in terms of sizing and equipment. I mean with all the money invested, why not aim so that the rink can be used for international events.

I think they dont bother getting professional advice. Plus they always want these rinks to be "dual" purpose. More like "everything" purpose except hockey. lol

Yeah except that they fail in business logic if they only expect income from public skating. Anyone can calculate it's not profitable enough
