This evening, we decided to go check out the skating at Wayne Gretzky Estates – his winery.
Yes, a winery with a rink. Awesome!
The gift shop was a lot of fun, the bar was really cozy – especially for being a tourist thing. It was weird to feel comfortable in a bar!
My husband loved their lineup, and looooved the decor. We’re not hockey people, but the woodwork was stellar.
… but we weren’t there for the woodwork, we were there for the rink!
As we got outside, people were clearing off for a resurfacing – Bonus! I love fresh ice!
So we bought our ticket and went to the shack to put on our skates.
…. and we did like 2 laps.
Oh my god, I’ve never been on worse ice in my life.
Not on natural ice (rivers, lakes, etc) with twigs and crap in it, not even on that Hamilton rink with rusty crap dropping onto the ice from above.
You know, the rink that smells so heavily of mold that we got sick the next day?
SO disappointing!
Overall we had a great time, but OMFG that ice was terrible. Expected better from “The Great One”!
