Here we go again, gearing up for another skating season. Lots of things are in the works for the rink. Some are taking longer than we anticipated, but hopefully we will see some visual changes at the rink very soon.

At the time of my writing this article we have a meeting with OML Construction coming up in a week’s time. Father Jim, Al Hamilton, and a few others are gathering to put the final stamp on getting a trailer in place for this season. We all have needed to practice the skill of patience for this project, but I am very confident with the people who have dedicated their own time to make this project happen. I will have an update for the next issue of Boyle McCauley News.

David Prodan from E4C is working on skating programs for this season along with a couple of pre-registration/information sessions for the community. Also, I would expect that the City of Edmonton will be running a program or two. We have also purchased two new professional hockey nets from the grant money that was received from Hockey Alberta. A big “thank you” goes out to Hockey Alberta.

I look forward to seeing everyone around the skating rink this season and remember, keep your stick on the ice.

If you have any hockey equipment, skates to donate, or questions please contact me at (780) 729-4363. If you have any questions about programming call David Prodan at (780) 424-2870.
