Mike Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I remember playing on blue ice as kid in Wasaga Beach, big sports complex, I believe they had a sand based floor, and somebody told me it was because of that. It's neat. All rinks have sand beneath them. You can paint it whatever color you want. It’s a powder that gets mixed with water. I’m quite certain you’ve played on dog shit rinks before where you can see discolored spots on the ice. That’s the paint fading and the spots you see is the sand underneath the ice.

Dunny Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yeah, but I mean it was a sand pad, not concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 So, I'm in Arthur, Ontario at a Novice tournament. Getting a coffee, look outside, they're dismantling out door rink adjacent to arena. Why, that looks like a sand base. Run outside, bewildered volounteers think I'm about to attack, I ask, "What is the base of this thing?" "Sand" Hahahahhahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I went to the Senators @ Golden Knights game on Friday, wow what an atmosphere. Fans were great, really into it, of course there were lots of Senators fans since Vegas is a destination city for opposing fans. IMO the Vegas fans are spoiled b/c of their great start, so they have a little chip on their shoulder. The opening video before the players came onto the ice was ok, then it began to get cheesy Vegas style by having a Knight "fight" a Senator on the ice to retrieve the Golden Knight sword. The Knights have a drumline that was ok for parts of the game, but then they are banging the drums to Go Knights Go every 2 minutes and by the end of the game I had the damn drum sounds pounding in my head for the rest of the night. Very convenient to get to the arena from the strip, its right behind NY/NY. Arena had great sightlines from the top of the arena behind the net. One of the best arena's i've been too. Entertaining game also, Knights score :52 seconds in, Senators didn't give up, back and forth all game, Senators won 5-4. By the way I missed all 3 Canadian west coast games for the Rangers and noticed the Rangers don't know how to embrace the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Klingberg just tripped over the side of the empty net for Dallas. Coughed it up and Bonino scored for Nashville. That had to be embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The Sabres experimented with it back in '05. http://www.joncouture.com/BlueIce.jpg That is so much easier on the eyes than the white they use now. That looks so much like an inline hockey rink. I have no recollection of them doing this whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynyc Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The logo is from the horrible black and red uniforms they used to wear and I'm happy they went back to the original and it looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 That looks so much like an inline hockey rink. I have no recollection of them doing this whatsoever. Because they did it during the lockout. It was an experiment that went nowhere. But I'm open to trying it again. Just not with yellow lines.

SaveByRichter35 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yea there is no reason you can't keep the red line red and the blue lines blue. They is plenty of contrast between the two shades of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
