New this season! Sunday shinny (hockey) for girls under 18

Click to enlarge

There is a new program at Campbell rink this season: slow- to medium-paced shinny for girls under 18 Sundays 3:15-4:30pm after pleasure-skating. $2 skate rentals are available. Please bring a piece of government-issued ID. There are also a very small number of sticks available to rent.

For those who don't know, shinny means hockey without protective equipment and usually without goaltenders. Since players aren't wearing full equipment, there is no body checking or raising the puck. Shinny is the informal hockey you see at most of Toronto's outdoor rinks. Some people call it pick-up hockey or pond hockey.

 

Supervised pleasure-skating hours

(no sticks or pucks)
Saturday 4-6pm, Sunday 1-3pm, Wednesday 4-6pm

The rink is open

Warm chili, minipizzas and fresh cookies this season!

Skating season is here. Campbell opened on Saturday December 3. This spring city workers made some changes to the rinkhouse. The staff office, which is also used as a kitchen and skate rental centre, got an electrical upgrade. This means rink staff can use the donated stove that has been sitting idle until now. The office also got new sinks, which will make cleaning dishes much easier. Staff are excited about the improvements and are planning an expanded menu for the snackbar including warm chili, minipizzas and cookies baked fresh at the park.
