New rink in Otago
A new rink has been built in Otago. The rink has been constructed in Albert Town, near Wanaka by Dunedin Ice Hockey Association member Keith Dickson. It is an outdoor rink with a synthetic surface rather than ice. It is 30 x 15m in dimensions and is situated beside the Albert Town tavern. Despite featuring a synthetic/plastic surface, the rink can be used with a regular pair of ice skates which glide over the slick plastic surface.
