S6E15: What it takes to create an outdoor skating rink with Chad Martin of Irishtown/Maple Hills

January 22, 2024

ODR - Outdoor Rinks - are rising in popularity across New Brunswick - but what does it take to actually maintain a community skating rink with volunteers? Chad Martin joins Jenna & Tosh in studio to talk about the Irishtown/Maple Hills Outdoor Rink, a community volunteer run ice surface that's creating a lot of wonderful memories in just its second year in operation.


To see what the Irishtown / Maple Hills Outdoor Rink looks like & updates on when it's open or closed, you can visit: www.irishtowncommunitycentre.ca/ice-rink-2024 or their Facebook group.


Petitcodiac, Salisbury, & Dorchester all have outdoor rinks. There are rinks at Dieppe's Rotary St-Anselme Park & the refrigerated oval at Place 1604. Moncton's Centennial Park has a rink, as well as the Muskrat Skating Trail. There are also often rinks at Victoria Park and Mapleton Park, as well as the refrigerated oval outside the Avenir Centre.


The Jenna & Tosh Show is a co-production of Pickle Planet Moncton and The Podcast Hub, and is recorded & aired by Rogers TV New Brunswick
