Brantwood rink closed for the season

March 3, 2013, was the last day for the Brantwood rink. The rink, run by about 50 community volunteers superbly coordinated by Cindy Courtemanche, opened earlier (Christmas) than virtually all other city rinks and closed later, even being open after the heavy snowfall of February 27. And a very big thanks to Mike Galazka, owner of Mike’s Service Centre, who for more than 20 years has plowed the rink, and whose plow suffered in the clearing of the aftermath of the February 27th storm.

The Ottawa East Hosers, who perfected their skills over decades at the Brantwood rink, won this year’s Capital Ward Cup, emblematic of shinny supremacy in the heart of the nation’s capital. Congratulations to them!
