Rinks

Krakow may have castles, cathedrals, and ruins, but Canada wins hands down in the number of hockey rinks.

People here are amazed when I tell them that most schools in Canada have ice rinks attached to them (every school I attended did, but that may just be an Alberta thing).

Here's the rink at my old junior high school. The day we visited my brother had to help push the mini zamboni over the snow built up around the pleasure skating rink. When I went to school some poor sod cleaned the ice by pushing around a big shovel.

Hmmm.. It must not have been a Guelph thing. None of my schools had outdoor ice rinks. My High School didn't even have a field. We were situated on a hill.

Nice photo.
