Hockey rinks and skating rinks
Äänekoski has several ice hockey rinks and skating rinks, the equipment level and size of which vary.
Artificial ice in the sports park (kaukalo) is number one in the order of importance in Äänekoski. The next step is to get the ice in Suolahti Asemakatu, Sumiainte center and Konginkangka rink in good condition.
Many small fields, where people work hard with hose spraying into the night, may still be finished before these. In suitable weather conditions, artificial ice can be used in up to 3-4 days. Making natural ice for skating rinks, on the other hand, requires consecutive frosty days of -5 to -6 degrees around the clock for at least a week, mostly two weeks.
Skating season 2023-2024, maintenance stopped
Maintenance during the winter season
Fields are renovated and plowed in the largest urban areas almost every day, and in sparsely populated areas, efforts are made to ensure that the ice is usable for the weekends. Since the plowing is mostly done in remote villages by local entrepreneurs who also plow the roads, there may be a slight delay in getting to the ice fields. That's why all ice fields have snow holes and pushers, so you can use them to clean the ice while waiting for plowing. If you notice spots on the ice, please notify the maintenance person and jointly mark the spot with a stick or some other way.
Cutting weather conditions and ice
The rapid cooling of the weather and at the same time the accumulation of sleet on the ice rinks is sometimes a challenge for maintenance workers. In such circumstances, it is good to be prepared for the fact that the maintenance staff may temporarily close the ice for safety reasons. Maintenance will continue in these areas as soon as possible.
