PETE’S STORY

A man in a red and black plaid shirt and blue jeans holds a hockey stick on an outdoor ice rink with mountains in the background. Two other people are seen in the background, one in a teal jacket and black pants, and a person in front of a goal net.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to inspire and support the outdoor rink community—and share tools to help anyone build their own backyard rink. We share step-by-step tutorials, real-world tips, and community stories that empower families, builders, and hockey lovers to turn a patch of snow into their own frozen tradition. Our goal is to make rink building accessible, rewarding, and something that brings people together every winter.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to grow a global community of outdoor rink builders who share ideas, stories and passion for the game—keeping the spirit of outdoor hockey alive for generations to come
