First Line Rinks

Originating from Barrie, Ontario, First Line Rinks isn't about just building great ice surfaces and boards, its about bringing the game we love to your backyard. As the owners of First Line Rinks, we have enjoyed these opportunities growing up. A backyard rink is still part of the best times in our lives. Playing against friends until it was simply too late or our feet were frost bitten, we loved

our rink, and we loved hockey. Unfortunately gaming consoles have taken away from where the true love of the game originates. The outdoor rink is where all of your troubles in life vanish, it is where you learn, where you discover your true passion for hockey and build friendships for a lifetime. BENEFITS

Physical Activity
With the development of electronics and media outlets, it is difficult to get youth and families physically active during the winter months. Put the Xbox and Playstation away and enjoy the beautiful Canadian winter again. Athlete Development
First line focuses on the grass roots of hockey development. A lot of pressure is set upon youth to develop into their top potential and what better way to develop than on your own backyard rink. Enjoyment of Your Backyard
Nothing is permanently installed with First Line Rinks. Our customers have a lot of pride in their backyards and enjoy it all year round. Turn your backyard into the winter playground that your family can enjoy everyday of the year. Family Fun
At First Line Rinks, we are not just making an ice surface to play hockey on. Your backyard rink is what you make of it; a young child's first time on ice, a leisure skate with a loved one, an added twist to your Holiday Season or competitive races with your kids ! Have fun with your family and make memories that will last a lifetime. FEATURES

Refrigeration Systems
Depending on your ice surface, different sized portable ice chiller systems pump glycol through piping mats laid beneath your skating surface.
