About this listen

Welcome to Backyard Boards & Beer: A Rink Building Podcast. We are in no means authorities on rink building, but we are knowledgeable and know what doesn’t work. Here to tell you stories, sprinkled with facts, we’ll work through the issues, offering you what we hope is something helpful. The 3 of us have completely different rink set ups, but together, 10+ years’ experience building rinks. Grab a beer and give us a listen –Consider us your Outdoor Rink therapists. Cheers.Eric Scheel Hockey
