This week the boys sit down and talk with Brian Packard of YardRink. A system that allows you to put the boards on the liner and fill the the boards with water, wrapping the liner up the back. You know how Jimmy feels about kit building ODR, so it’s interesting to see how he feels about the “new” concept. They cover saving tarps vs. new, connection to the NHL and offering a discount code to our listeners. If you have looking at this system and was not sure about it, give a listen - or just listen for the guys “hot take” on Ant-Man.

Season 1 comes to a close - I know, you're sad. But don't be - we'll be back with season 2 before you know it!

We say farewell to our new friends (most in Manitoba), hope that Jimmy has not ruined his teams chances this coming year at the USA Pond hockey championships and hope that Anthony has learned a little when it comes safely being on his ice.

Jayne Wilson: Canadian ODR builder

Anthony has the week off and our producer Mike sets up to handle the hard questions this week. Then we throw out an open call on social media for ODR enthusiasts... and Jayne answered the call. We travel back north to Durham Bridge New Brunswick Canada (North of Bangor Maine for those that don't want to google it) to talk about a pallet rink that stays up year round! We learn that there is a combo of DYI and NiceRink.com - rounded out by some sweet pallet furniture. After listening to Jayne talk, and seeing her photos, no way that you CANNOT build your own rink. You'll want to listen to know so that you can say, "I know her..." when she's featured on Outdoor Hockey Club next year.
