Default Outdoor rink open late?

Hey, I work @ the airport until 1:00 in the morning, and a few guys and myself would like to find a rink that might just have their lights on until real late, kind of like all night late. Does anyone know of any? Any near the airport (N.W./N.E.)?

Thanks

You should "borrow" one of the water trucks from the airport and freeze one of the unused runways.

I hate how they turn the lights off. I would like to know of a late night rink myself. Preferably SE/SW tho.

PS There are ways to turn the lights back on but you have to be sneaky. And you can usually only get away with it once.

Both Shawnessy & Millrise (was over there tonight and the ice is great!!!) turn the lights out at 10pm. I would imagine this is standard around the city. It sounds like what you need is a pond out in the middle of nowhere with headlights at each end....

I seem to recall that Canyon Meadows has rinks with timed lights that you control by hitting a button in the rink.

Theres a small, boardless rink in Mount Royal that has lights on all night, but the richies might get pissed off at you if you go too late, so its a tough call sometimes.

I've actually used one of these during outdoor skating.
