If you're driving by Hospital Street in the Jewel of the Parkland, Roblin, there's a good chance you would see Jarrett Newton and his two kids, Ty and Ryder.
That's because, for the seventh year, a few different families have come together to make an outdoor rink so kids in the area have a place to skate.
Jarrett is joined by Kenton Johnston and Cam Rands who have now built the rink for the seventh year and this is perhaps the biggest one yet.
Because we're under 'Code Red' restrictions, kids aren't allowed to skate inside arenas with their friends because team sports are suspended.
There are also two professional players and two junior hockey players that use the rink. Jayce Hawryluk and Josh Brook both skate on it while Jakob Brook and Aiden Brook also use the rink and while team activities are paused, the rink on Hospital Street is always busy.
"The kids have such a great time when they see these guys who play at the next level playing," said Jarrett Newton. "The guys can get up to a good speed because it's a good size so the kids think it's so awesome when they're skating hard."
This year's rink features higher boards and netting as the kids are now shooting higher than they have in previous years.
Although Ty and Ryder aren't able to play with their friends in a team setting right now, Jarrett is just happy that they're having fun on their outdoor rink.
"It's really special. I thoroughly enjoy watching them every time they lace up the skates," ended Newton. "They always have smiles on their faces and that just makes me so happy, I couldn't ask for anymore."
Darnell Duff continues his tour across the Parkland tomorrow when he stops at the Samson house.
