Hey guys, yea I'm itching to get out there too. However, I don't believe they start flooding the rinks until early dec. It's usually that they want some consistency in the cold weather. As for what I can say on a positive note, the Olympic Plaza downtown has been cordoned off with red tape as the ice flooding and light decoration is beginning. I know your not "officially" allowed to play hockey there, but me and my bro always bring our stuff just in case no one is using the rink. Last year, about 4-8 other guys joined us for several nights, usually from 11:30 p.m. - 1 when regular skaters left on a weekday Christmas season night for some shinny. We used benches for nets, the lighting and ice is great. A really fun place to play with one of the best outdoor ice surfaces in calgary if you are ever up for hockey that time of night.
