Ice Rating (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 9.5 It was probably the best ice so far this season! The ice was smooth and fast, with no marks or rough spots. The very far outside edges were a bit rough, but no one skated on that part of the Oval anyway.
Ice rating (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 4 pm – 6 pm: 5 WORK ICE! Snowfall led to challenging conditions (rougher, slower ice with snow cover) but that’s unavoidable and part of the challenge of skating outdoors!
