Hey there ...... the Meredith pond hockey event is happening Friday, Feb 4 to Sunday, Feb 6 so's a warm-up weekend pond hockey may not be the greatest for the ice surface but it should be good for that Labatt's beer tent. ...  ... and beer fixes everything! ...
  ..... let's get the puck outta here and go hit that beer tent ...... yeah! |
Hey there again ...... I said that on Thursday, January 27 ...... and who knew it ..... but on Friday, Feb 4, the Pond Hockey-Meredith Bay event was closed for the day and on Saturday, Feb 5, it was cancelled in total for the weekend due to rough ice surface condition and water flooding through cracks in the ice surface supposedly caused by the weather or something.
Cancellation notice: Saturday, Feb 5;

I don't know ..... if you ask me ..... with so many pickup trucks, shacks, and numerous items like people and gear out on the ice .... maybe the weight of all these items was enough to sink the floating ice just a tiny bit and cause it to flood? Ice is 10% less dense than liquid water and floats on top of the water. When the ice surface gets depressed just a tiny bit due to all the added weight with the Pond Hockey event it makes the water come up through any cracks in the ice surface.
