Don’t you love this time of year? Christmas… and rink nights.
You push through the door and it hits you: sharp, tin‑cold air mixed with that classic Rink Stink.
The mat is sticky under your boots and the whole place echoes. The sssh‑ksssh of skates, hockey sticks slapping, the tiiinnng when a puck kisses the post.
Hockey or figure skating, there’s something about an arena that feels distinctly Canadian. It’s chaos, it’s community, and it’s why you keep coming back.
Ride along with me, Caleb, for the Afternoon Drive on 89.5 the Lake, Monday to Friday. Turn it up and share your best tips for juggling school nights and rink time.
