As warm weather comes to an end, It’s time to look forward to all of the recreational activities that are only possible in the winter. Installing a backyard ice skating rink is perfect for hockey enthusiasts and recreational skaters alike, and can provide hours of fun this winter. Here are a few more reasons why you should consider installing an ice rink this winter.

Stay In Shape

Winter weather can make it challenging to stay active and healthy. Especially in the northeast, the brittle temperatures can make it hard to have the motivation to leave your house. Having access to a skating rink will have you itching to get outside. Skating, hockey, and other ice sports have a host of physical benefits. Skating is an excellent full-body workout that will improve your flexibility, endurance, and balance. It has been found that those who play hockey have seen improvements in their metabolism and cardiovascular system and have strengthened muscles and burned fat much quicker. Don’t let the cold deter you from staying active this winter!

Improve Your Skills On The Ice

Practice makes perfect! Improve your skating all winter long with friends, family, or on your own. Spending time on the ice will impress your coaches, peers, and family when they see how much progress you’ve made. Whether you are a hockey player, competitive skater, or just like to get on the ice to have some fun, access to a rink can completely change your skill level in a matter of weeks.

Fun For Everyone

Custom-designed ice skating rinks are a magical centerpiece for community winter celebrations. There are very few groups of people that wouldn’t enjoy your new ice rink. Make friends with your neighbors by inviting them over for a skate, or provide your children with a great space to entertain friends. During the holiday season, host an atypical party on the ice. Having a hockey rink will also provide you with the optimal setting for family bonding. Whether you are just learning to skate or a big hockey family, an ice rink will undoubtedly increase family time. Have older family members who don’t want to skate? Place the rink near a deck or overlook so they can enjoy watching the younger generations play.

Relieve Stress

Exercise, in general, is a great physical release for the stressors of everyday life. Outdoor time in particular is a proven method to lower stress levels and improve your mood. Work towards a goal on the ice or just take the time to do a couple of relaxing laps every day and enjoy the physical and mental results.
