Now Playing: What's it Like Having Your Own Private Ice Rink?

Hi All,

Now that the holidays are over and yes, we've survived, it's time to get back into training. A great place to start is nutrition. It can make the difference between a stellar performance and one that falls short of your expectations.

My Nutrition for Ice Skaters article which was distributed by the USFSA at their 2003 Coaches workshop has been published in the November-December 2003 issue of Rink Magazine. The title is Nutrition: What Do Skaters Really Need? It covers the specific, physical demands skating places on young developing athletes and how to overcome them. For a preview visit Rink Magazine



So while I enjoy writing for Rink Magazine, have you ever wondered what it's like to have your own private ice rink right in your backyard? Well, thanks to NiceRink Outdoor Ice Rinks, we already know! We installed our NiceRink which arrived in November in an easy to set up kit. We've added lights around it for nighttime skating and now it looks like a mini-Rockerfeller Center! Think of how much time and stress we'll save this season. No more traveling to the ice rink on THEIR schedule.

For the most part, what I've gotten are exclaimations of disbelief when I tell people we have an ice rink installed on our estate. Believe it! This type of ice is very similar to skating on pond ice which we did last year. The NiceRink company makes a resurfacer which is like a hand held Zamboni and puts down a layer of fresh, smooth ice in minutes. So the forecast calls for some really cold temps this winter. We've got an outdoor fireplace set up for popcorn and chestnut roasting. Chairs are set up to be cozy around the fire. Bring on the cold weather! Contact NiceRink to find out how you can have your own outdoor ice rink this year.


Best,
