Game day draws closer and in the week the arena has been closed the boys behind the scenes have made huge strides in readying it for the Canada Games!
Day 1 - What a sad & sorry state the ice surface was: shaved down to the bare minimum; lost paint; faded crease... poor ice. :(
Day 2 - Add a few layers of water, paint, & more water, and finally.... FINALLY the ice surface is starting to feel like its old self again!
Day 3 - How does that old joke go again -
How many Operators does it take to make ice?
... wait, I think the punchline here is that yes, there was 1 other person supervising.
(I knew we missed a golden photo op!)
Day 4 - Ahhhhh! A clean crease! Crisp, white surfaces. Bold red!
THAT'S the arena surface we know & love!
Day 5 - Centre lines, blue lines, face offs... Oh! Game day is so close we can almost taste it!
Day 6 - The LOGOS! The 2011 Canada Games emblem... sponsors, board signages,
and even the players benches have started getting the royal treatment!
Day 7 - And the flags are hung with pride over the arena as we get ready to welcome some of
Canada's best young athletes to the Dartmouth Sportsplex!
