Richard’s Landing ODR

Richards Landing

This rink means everything to me and my community. My parents are the caretakers, spending winter after winter between their full time jobs meticulously maintaining every square centimetre of this wonderful ODR. I, like many islanders, grew up on this rink. It taught me of course how to skate, but also the power of community and hard work. Almost every islander has found themselves with a shovel in their hand at some point, scraping the ice when the puck gets stuck in the dumping snow. When I visit home, it’s never without at least a drive by the rink, or picking up the pucks that have gone over the boards in the summertime. This rink is the heartbeat of our community. ♥️
