Shinny

2019 Christmas Shinny & Skating

by

It’s that time of year once again to get your skates sharpened, sticks taped, helmets at the ready and start thinking about hitting the ice over the holidays!

Larry Thomas has graciously organized the annual Sturgeon Point Christmas Shinny & Skating again this year!

The ice has been booked once again for three days over the course of the holidays: Friday the 27th, Saturday the 28th and Monday the 30th  

We’ll be at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre – Ice Pad for two of the days and we’re going “old school” at the Bobcaygeon rink (bring your woollies) on the Saturday. please note that there are different times for all three days.

  • Friday December 27: 11:30-1:30 PM (Fenelon Falls Ice Pad)
  • Saturday December 28: 3:30-5:30 PM (Bobcaygeon Ice Pad)
  • Monday December 30: 2:00PM-4:00PM (Fenelon Falls Ice Pad)

The City of Kawartha Lakes has been increasing the rental rate on an annual basis for the last few years (plus weekend rates are charged at the premium level) as such we are having to raise the family rate to $25/day, we can keep the rate for singles at $10/day.

Come out and enjoy skating with your friends and neighbours on one, two or all of these dates!

The Good Ol Hockey Game…..

by

The good old hockey game!
Its the best game you can name!

It is that time of year to sharpen your blades, tape your sticks and pray for soft landings, the days and times for our annual shinny and skating have been booked!

Here are the dates, times, & places:

Friday, Dec 28: 4-6 PM – Fenelon Falls Arena (the new one!), 27 Veterans Way
Saturday, Dec 29:  2-4 PM – Fenelon Falls Arena, 27 Veterans Way
Sunday, Dec 30: 11AM-1 PM – Bobcaygeon Arena, 51 Mansfield Dr.

For those of you who haven’t participated before, we use 2/3′s of the rink for shinny and 1/3 for recreational skaters, little ones and UN observers. We play 5 minute periods split between younger skaters (roughly 12 and under) and the rest of the motley crew. This keep the little ones out of harms way and the old guys get a break every five minutes to catch their breath.

Please share them with anyone you think that might be interested in joining in the fun and games.

This a great deal, just $20 for families $10 for singles / day.

Having seen the pace of play in years gone by, we recommend the use helmets for one and all. Trust me you won’t be the only one out there sporting protection.

See you on the ice.

Special thanks goes out to Larry Thomas who has been instrumental in the organization of this fun event each year.
