Okay, so maybe you don’t know what ODR season is, but for those not in the know it’s outdoor rink season. Or as many a hockey fan calls it, the best season ever! Many cities have outdoor rinks aplenty, all it takes is a simple google search to get the puck gliding so to speak. Of course, there’s nothing better than an outdoor rink of your very own, despite being time consuming and you’re a fool if you think anything to the contrary; the outdoor rink doesn’t have to be too costly. We found a site that claims you can make an outdoor rink for about $250, that’s a tag that’s well worth the price when you factor in the hours of fun and memories to be made once you hit the ice.

Skating outside is one experience that never gets old, even when you do. Spending countless hours playing hockey with friends, family and even the dog certainly has it’s perks. Snow falling and the twilight of the sky are just a few that can’t be found within the confines of your typical arena. While it’s certainly a labor of love, consider taking to the the backyard and build some memories Pink Puckers, ODR season can only be celebrated a few months out of the year.
