Copperfield Outdoor Rinks

We’d like to welcome Matt Wright as our new rink coordinator this year! Thank you for taking this on, Matt!

New This Winter!

Family Fun Skate

Every Sunday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, the boarded hockey rink will be available for families to use. Hockey will not be allowed during this time. This is a perfect opportunity for everyone to enjoy the rink, regardless of their ability.

The hockey rink and tot rink are located at the Copperfield Community Hall at 6 Copperstone Way. They are free for everyone to use and are very popular among residents of Copperfield.

Helmets are recommended. Skates and helmets are not provided.

Hours

The rinks are open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, unless otherwise posted on the Copperfield Rink Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/513299462824536). If the lights are off, the rink volunteers are performing maintenance.

Maintenance

Our amazing group of rink volunteers take care of our rinks on top of their jobs and their family life. Maintenance generally occurs after 8:00 pm. Flooding can only occur between -5 and -20 degrees. If it is too cold or too warm, please be patient. We promise the volunteers will get back out there as soon as possible! If you see these folks out working, please give them a wave and a thank-you for their time.

Once the weather is consistently below -5, our volunteers will start flooding for this season. In recent years, this has been in December, however, we are completely at the mercy of the weather so please bear with us. We will announce on our Facebook page when the rinks are ready for use.

Volunteering

Our rinks would not operate without the contribution of local residents! If you are interested in helping out at the rink this season, please contact [email protected]. Also join the Copperfield Rink facebook group to stay up to date on volunteer needs or the rink schedule.
