The Hardest Shot went to Josh Fassle.
Rink Liner Ends Seasons of "Thin Ice".
The 2002-03 season started early at the "Boisvert Arena". Pouring started in very early December, 2002 and skating season opened December 3. That lasted for awhile, until the warmup! Temperatures soared into the 50's by mid-December, and lasted way past Christmas. The ice in the rink was thin in spots and gone in others. Jim and Edie decided that a new system needed to be implemented. A rink liner was purchased, picked up and put down within three days and water poured into it to an average depth of 4 inches. Once the "big chill" returned, a large sheet of ice also made an appearance. Bare ground and "thin ice" are a thing of the past at the Arena these days.
