This worldwide call for backyard ice rinks had epic results (PHOTOS)

Few things are more festive than a backyard ice rink, am I right?

So it’s no surprise that a recent call-out for people to share their homegrown ice rink creations was answered loud and clear, and by Canadians in particular.

Just tweeted a few early submissions from yesterday. We want to see pictures of backyard rinks world wide. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
