Everything the open map data records within fifteen minutes' drive of this door — measured by road, not in a straight line, and ordered by nothing but how long it takes to get there. Not a recommendation; see what this is not, below.

What we do not know about this place
None of the following is in any open dataset, and every one of them decides whether somebody makes the trip. If you know, tell us and it goes on the page with the date you told us — credited as local knowledge, not by name. We do not put contributors' names on venue facts:
- Are the stands heated? The single most asked question about a Newfoundland rink in February, and it is published nowhere.
- Accessibility Level entry, an accessible washroom, somewhere a wheelchair can actually watch from, and how far the parking is.
- Seating How many, and benches or buckets.
- Canteen Whether there is one, and whether it is cash only.
- The story Who built it, what it replaced, whose name is on it and why. Every rink on this island has one and almost none of them are written down.
- Whether we have the town right. It is derived from the nearest settlement on the open map, not from a source that says so — and around a bay that is exactly the kind of thing a map gets wrong and a local gets right.
That opens an email with 6 questions already in it. Answer one, delete the rest, send. One answer is a complete contribution — you do not need to know them all, and you do not have to give a name. How contributions work if you would rather read first.
What this page is not
- Not a schedule. Ice times, field bookings and whether the season has started belong to the town's rec department. We publish none of it, because we cannot keep it true.
- Not a recommendation. The eateries are listed by drive time and nothing else. No one can pay to appear.
- Not complete. Somewhere unmapped does not appear here.
- Not open hours. We hold none, for anywhere.
Venue from OpenStreetMap, eateries from Overture Maps, drive times from OSRM. Measured 2026-09-11.
Not every entry here is confirmed. 7 of 30 here are confirmed by two independent maps agreeing to within 150 m; the rest exist in one source only, so we list them with their address but will not map-pin or navigate to a point nobody has checked. One source means exactly that — the name, the position and in one case tonight the existence of the place all rest on a single record. Adding a place to the open map is what turns one of these into the other — it takes about two minutes.
