Its the winter of 2013-14 and I decided I want to make a thread about pond hockey and how I form my rinks on my pond. So currently at my house in ny the ice is ranging from 4"-8" and me and my little brother made a decent sized hockey rink on it two days ago. The rink Is like a full sized hockey rink and it is very smooth as we flooded the rink and then it rained so it is as smooth as possible. Every hour or two of skating tommorow will have a break with a resurfacing in between. I use a soaking wet towel tied to some 550 paracord tied to my belt and pulled by me skating. Its a very cheap way of smoothing and resurfacing the ice. But tommorow I will be playing hockey almost all day. I bought a new pair of skates and a new stick today and skated on the pond for about 1 1/2 hours alone and used my cheap homemade net before I buy a new one. Its just a heavy duty wooden pallet for now until I pick up a new net. Has anyone else started playong pond hockey yet this year? I can't wait for tommorow to break in the new skates and stick. Ill post on another post pics of my new stuff in a few.

I just picked this stuff up today easton eq cheap skates to try out on the pond not to destroy my bauer vapor trail 4.0's. And a bauer vapor x70 stick which is an amazing stick and very easy to handle and very durable. uploadfromtaptalk1388465078166.jpg

Ill be buying an all steel 54 inch hockey net tommorow so I dont have to use my wooden pallet anymore lol It doesnt work too well. The other side of my pond is completely frozen and the water under it is currently only about 1-2 feet at most except in one corner where it is about 20 feet deep or deeper and I will be skating on that side hopefully

Just got my 5 year old out on his new skates yesterday but we are still on the rink, our ponds aren't there yet. Nothing like sitting a case of beer on the ice and playing hockey all day. Have fun buddy, looking forward to it myself.
