MGoIceRink

Submitted by icegoalie1 on

So I decided to do a backyard ice rink this winter for the kids to skate on and as a finishing touch I iced over a block M at center ice to add some maize and blue flair.  I am going to have to get another inch or so of ice over it in the next week or so to make sure the skates to beat it up too bad but it turned out pretty good and the kids call the rink Yost-South.  

When I was in high school my brother and I painted up my parents side lot to look like a replica of Michigan Stadium turf complete with 6' tall "MICHIGAN" letters in each endzone.  We put flood lights on conduit poles so we could play at night and I remember friends of friends that I didn't even know coming over for night pick-up games.  Our quick 4-on-4 pick-up games quickly turned into full 11-on-11 battles.

I posted this because I wanted to see if anyone else did this kind of stuff or had any photos of their own personal UM fields, rinks or basketball courts.

Go Blue!

Signed in to say bravo. I have no kids but if/when I do I would love for them to play hockey, and what better place to play as a kid. I grew up playing basketball and was a captain of my varsity team, but unlike spike my 5,11 stature and overall poor performance kept me from advancing. Best of luck to my future kids and your current ones!
