ICE RATING (from 1-10 with 10 being the best): 6.5

Much like yesterday, there were several rough strips and large frozen slush piles on the Oval which could be very dangerous if hit. I stayed in the inner lane and that seemed best.
THE BENCH REPORT (from 1-5 with 5 being the best): 4

Not too cold, not windy, not rainy, not snowy. A win!
