Under ice LED lighting for hockey is a GAME CHANGER

[@Defossion1]

No clue why I come here every year, but it's part of my winter/Christmas season tradition!

[@DIYPETE]

Well welcome back! :) Thanks for checking in on the hockey projects. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@puttenicole]

Lol. Same here! Really enjoy it :)

[@scottcampbell96]

Same. It’s fun to see the upgrades each year.

[@RRgaming2322]

Same!

[@nickdawes6600]

The dedication to your rink is phenomenal and i really enjoy your videos even though haven't been on a rink for 20 years. Just a nice style and presentation

[@DIYPETE]

Hey Nick, I appreciate that! I hope you are able to find time to either get out on the rink or watch some hockey this winter :) Cheers!

[@wrenchdoozer]

The lights look amazing. Have a great season.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Hopefully the weather will cool down soon so we can get it flooded for the season. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@wrenchdoozer]

Merry Christmas to you as well. Its been unseasonably warm here on the Canadian prairies too.

[@DIYPETE]

@@wrenchdoozer Darn weather! Hopefully some cold temps and precip will come your way as well for all the winter activities and to keep fires down next summer!

[@superbroadcaster]

Hey just saw your truck go by on 19th, it's nice to see locals on KZbin making cool content!

[@DIYPETE]

Small world! We were out running errands getting ready for a skating party :) Cheers!

[@nickwillett1525]

I just moved to Bozeman from Billings for school and the hockey community here is simply awesome! I feel so lucky to be apart of this community, it seems everybody and their dog plays hockey and it’s awesome!

[@samgardiner8839]

Your kids are incredibly blessed and lucky to have you and your wife as parents. Big fan of your channel. Hope to be able to do the same for my family one day.

[@timtoggs]

Those lights look awesome - well done Pete!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Tim! Have a Merry Christmas and hope all is well down in Colorado!

[@timtoggs]

@@DIYPETE thanks! Merry Christmas to you and the family as well!

[@johnmcauley7158]

I always like this every year all the best from Ireland

[@pfoe]

As a lover of hockey and diy who is looking for something chill and positive to watch this is the most insanely therapeutic thing on youtube.

[@DIYPETE]

Well thanks so much! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for checking out the process!

[@StanleyKubick1]

i subscribe for only this content and i haven't skated in 30 years. merry christmas to you and your family from Iceland

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much for subscribing for the hockey part of things! :) Most folks are the opposite and have to put up with my hockey rink videos between woodworking/renovation videos. I hope you are able to get to a hockey rink near you this winter to skate or watch some hockey. Merry Christmas to your family and take care over there in Iceland!

[@123superhunt]

i would love to see more videos, or youtube shorts of the rink throuighout the winter season. i love seeing all the videos of your rink. it's like meditation for my soul :) me and my friends are always hyping eachother up come hockey season. because we know we get to see another year of the rink build :D

[@trace_minerals]

Your community is lucky to have you.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@danconlan8735]

As always.....First Class Pete!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Jeff!

[@Потап4214]

Greetings from Russia! Great job, you inspired me, I'll try to do something similar next year.👍

[@petesveen]

Thanks!

[@JBT42884]

I really like this channel but I personally would love to see more footage of kids/ parents actually enjoying the ice.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for the feedback! I've heard from a few viewers who are interested in watching kids/parents using the rink. I absolutely love the idea and will do a video with this in the future. Thanks!

[@Brahh777]

Looks awesome! Looking forward to the full vid. Kinda jealous that it's really not feasible these days to make an outdoor rink in my part of Sweden... The temperature is usually fluctuates around freezing. :/

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much and great to hear from you! I wish it was colder over in Sweden to make outdoor rinks more of a thing. We actually haven't been able to pour here yet due to abnormally warm temperatures. Hopefully soon though. Have a great weekend!

[@michaelsvenson2456]

Also is a fan of this, as Defossion1 wrote it's just so nice to see this amazing rink comes a live, Your hard work give result. Amazing job from all of you

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Michael! Hope all is well man!

[@Th31Th3Only]

Can't wait for the full video. Will you be posting any before that showing people skating on it?

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! I haven't done skating only in the past, but did get some comments over the last year asking if I could. Are you wanting to basically see it in use more with skaters, hockey players, etc? I'll see about getting some new footage of that once we start skating, I agree that would be some fun and unique content to share. Cheers!

[@tonytrumble]

Looks amazing! Great job!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@MCsCreations]

Really interesting indeed! Beautiful work, Pete! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks and Merry Christmas! Cheers!

[@jaybrydges]

What an awesome idea! Curious which LED lights you use?

[@DIYPETE]

Hi! They are from @NiceRink nicerink.com/shop-category/856

[@nickwillett1525]

Good stuff 👍

[@synaxYO]

amazing

[@DIYPETE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jts9807]

Ice Pickle Ball - you're too much. Can't wait to see a match played.

[@DIYPETE]

haha! I've been seeing ice tennis popping up on instagram a lot lately and figured a smaller sized court would be easier to do, we'll see how it works! :)

[@deevpavel]

Классная идея

[@adamkruse8453]

I wish I was your neighbor. I’d help

[@ericmosher6969]

Neat!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much!

[@register1430]

webcam would be slick.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for the ideas!

[@register1430]

what is current status - has the weather co-operated yet? Webcam we'd know in an instant. Northern BC first ever no outdoor ice oval in place by Jan 1, not even scraps of ice. Still just dirt.@@DIYPETE

[@DIYPETE]

@@register1430 Hello! We do have a 24/7 security camera but we do not broadcast it. However, we did a bunch of Instagram stories last week showing us skating on it and there is a photo of it about 2 weeks ago. We've been skating just about everyday and have luckily had lows in the teens and highs in the low 30's so morning and evening skating has been great. The next couple weeks our highs are much colder so skating will be good all day. I wish northern BC was having better weather... A different winter for sure!
