From the Niagara Falls Review:
After writing half a dozen news stories about the $750,000 rink, it was time to see firsthand if the new ice is all it’s cracked up to be. (Check out the video tour of the rink on The Review’s website). Having grown up near Ottawa’s famous Rideau Canal, the world’s longest outdoor rink, it’s hard to impress this skating snob.
But the ice is pretty smooth, especially since the temporary rink was built in a field. It feels a little softer than ice at an indoor municipal arena, maybe because Mother Nature hasn’t been co-operative about making ice. Conditions will probably improve the colder it gets and the more times it’s flooded.
The first question most people have is “can you really see the falls?”
