Many adult teams also rent ice yearly for recreation leagues as a form of winter exercise, and players are always welcome to join any of these teams. Note that proper protective gear must be worn during stick time.

A precursor to the modern day Zamboni, the original ‘Barrel Flooder’ was filled with hot water and manually pushed around the rink by Reiny McKean, one of the original caretakers of the new arena in 1966. Gravity would force the water from the horizontal 45 gallon barrel through a series of tubing and valves to the horizontal ‘flood bar’ that would leave a smooth, freshly resurfaced sheet of ice ready for the next game! Left at the arena by an unknown donator, the vessel was built from scratch by long time local fabricator Louis Wine.

The Barrel Flooder display is part of a new arena history initiative. Local sports historians Laverne Anderson and Martin Schneider, along with arena staff, have been piecing together much of the history of the building and are actively seeking any and all memorabilia, pictures,
artifacts and articles that may fill in some gaps from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. If you have any such material, please contact Arena Manager Graham Parsons at (403) 357-9597 or by email at sylvanlakehockeycamp.com
