New Years ‘shinny’ and extra ice time in Barrys Bay

If you are looking for some extra ice time over the holidays, you can head to the Paul J. Yakabuskie Arena, in Barrys Bay.

Madawaska Valley Township are hosting some free ‘bonus’ public skates at the arena.

On New Years Eve, they say they’ll also be trying something new: A Public Skating ‘shinny edition.’

The skate is a chance for all ages and skill levels to engage in cooperative shinny game play.

If you want to do some regular skating, you can join after for a regular public skate.

The township says that sticks and pucks are welcome for the shinny play – helmets are required for all ages. Cages are required for players under age 18.
