8 outdoor hockey rinks to skate on in Montreal this winter

Dec 9 2018, 10:19 am

It’s crisp and cold in Montreal which means it’s the prime time to show off your Canadian pride and hit the ice at any of the city’s collection of outdoor hockey rinks.

If you’re going for a leisurely skate or you want to wire a few clappers, these spots around the city offer not only the best ice and maintenance but have warm rooms to lace up, long hours, lights, nets, boards and open-skate areas for the mini-skaters.

Let’s leave the Natrel Skating Rink out of this one, folks. It’s picturesque, chilled and beautifully maintained but it’s not an option for a pick-up game of shiny.

Plus, any place that charges you to get on the ice, isn’t what Canadian ODRs are about.

Be sure to check out the Ville de Montreal’s skating rink site to check out ice condition details, which are updated daily.
