Can't have a Hockey rink in Canada? ... the thing this Country was built on and known for? I bet if ya threw down some rugs and did certain prayers nobody would say Jack Sh!t
I actually never thought of that but so true. Prayer rugs can be spread across major intersections in Toronto and nothing happens ... a man builds an ice rink and allows neighbourhood kids to join in on the fun and all heck breaks loose!
They are not telling the whole story, you can have a rink in your yard, but you can't just build a permanent rink with chiller equipment. This man has a hockey training business, he tried to pull a fast one on the city and got caught...
@ Give me a break. Sad statement on the times. People complain when kids are loitering around town, now they're complaining about kids playing sports. Healthy habits should be encouraged. Lighten up!

Remember when Covid shut everything down? You couldn't go anywhere or do anything. Yet Brampton's Mayor and all his buddies has access to indoor arenas so they can continue playing hockey while the rest of the public was denied access. They didn't even wear masks inside. A law the Mayor himself wanted enforced but couldn't be enforced on himself.
Government needs to start staying the hell out of people’s lives and let them do what they want with there property people need to stand up. Canada is not the land of dreams anymore.
@@stephens1726 Imagine you dedicate your entire life to contributing to the society around you, just to be told you can't even play hockey in your backyard! Fuck your rules!
Shameful! Freedom is gone in Canada. They’d rather see kids glued to computers where they can be manipulated than to have them out in the fresh air, getting exercise, having fun and being kids.
Put up a Christmas lights, with a light show backed by Christmas music and run it every night. Then bring in an evangelist to hold Sunday morning mass, with a loud speaker.

True that! We moved to Calgary last year. Every neighborhood has a park where they (city) make ice rinks in the winter. Kids are skating and playing hockey all winter.
PUT THIS MAN IN JAIL !!!! How DARE he be a good father to his children! I can’t believe he had the absolute audacity to build a hockey rink …on his own property no less. I know if I was his neighbour and had to suffer by hearing kids laughing or having fun playing I would be up in arms too! DISGUSTING!
This is what city officials are worried about instead of looking for landlords that have more then 10 people living in their home this is what they freak out about ... people having fun
It’s ok to have a giant swimming pool in your backyard full of people all summer partying until 11:00 at night but not an ice rink in the winter when everyone is indoors and has their windows closed!? Bloody stupid.
Remember when they told us multiculturalism was a good thing and they will assimilate to our culture. I guess that meant no more street hockey or backyard hockey rinks among many other things. Imagine if the people passing these laws were around in the 60s and 70s, Wayne Gretzky wouldn't be the best player of all time or Bobby Orr the greatest Defenseman in history. How many NHL careers aren't even allowed to begin because of these BS rules that is taking enjoyment away from kids who cant afford organized hockey early on
Hey guys, ice skating is loud. I bet his kids are out there until 10 at night sometimes.. this guy has lots of neighbours around his backyard. People work for a living, they wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning sometimes, so they gotta go to bed early. Retired ppl go to bed at 8pm. It's alright to have things like this, when you live out in the country. But if you're buggering up everybody else's peace and quite.. you're just asking to get picked on.

Holy cow? My dad built us a backyard rink in the 70's and kept it up for years. Never once was there a complaint. Neighborhood kids came over and played every frickin night. Dad put up lights and watered the ice every night. Nothing even close to this extravagance, but, we loved it all the same. It's insane how migrants dictate terms to us, in our own country?? WTF?
His neighbours are white canadian dude lmfao. The people complaining about him are all canadian. You don't live in Unionville, Markham if you are an immigrant lmfao.
Can you imagine being a neighbor in the middle of summer BBQing and you have to look at that instead of the usual greenery? The property value will drop like flies as nobody will buy
I found another NIMMBY!!!!! NIMBY NIMBY Leave this country you are not Canadian. People like YOU make the property drop, not a rink lmfao. Nobody wants to be around a NIMBY.
Remember, one or more of his "neighbours' must have complained - this is not simply about Government, it's about lousy neighbours, pure and simple. Everyone sticks their nose in everyone else's business. What happened to live and let live? Family behind me has three daughters who cannot play outside without screaming at an incredible high F or G note and laughing. I could complain but, then I'd be the Arse. :) Let the kids have some fun, even if it males a wee bit of noise. I wish I still had their energy god love them.
It's a cool rink, but I don't really buy for a second that you can't hear a sound. It's very close to neighboring properties, I'm pretty sure you can hear kids whipping pucks at those boards. It sounds like the issue is more that the dude cut down some old trees on a heritage site and didn't have permission to do so though.
Are they being respectful? Are they causing trouble? Breaking things? How's that any different than a punch of kids playing road hockey out front? You fuckin Karen's need a clue on life.
I love hockey and would love my own rink but his neighbours are really close. I’d never do that to my neighbors. To say there’s no sound is kinda naive. $352k though?? How do they justify that removal cost
First off that’s one damn fine rink for a “backyard rink”. Second of all, you have chillers installed. This isn professional hockey rink. You also own a hockey training camp business….. this is not a rink for your kids. This is a rink for your business that your kids can use. Nice try. You tried to pull a fast one. Tell the whole story… Good work city employees. Get this trash out of that nice neighbourhood.
What’s wrong with people in the comment section. You’re so blind in your rage to hate any government that you forget that there are RULES in a society. There’s nothing wrong with a backyard ice rink. But this guy has taken it too far. I’ll bet everyone here would whine like little babies if he were their neighbour and had to put up with the noise and bright lights.
What a one-sided take. Go around and ask the neighbors if they've had to endure increased noise levels, or pucks being shot into their yards. Everyone is so quick to side with someone who clearly didn't get proper permitting to build said rink.
Dude bought a heritage property and was told not to do it, but he did it anyways. I have no sympathy for him. Next he’ll convert his backyard into a gas station or landfill and whine about how he’s just trying to make living and not bothering anyone…
That's shameful to say the least. There is nothing better for kids than to be playing outside, whoever wants this rink dismantled is/are complete morons.
Ice skating is loud. Slapping some pucks around with the boys is even louder, and with all those houses lining up his backyard... buddy was asking for a complaint.
It’s a heritage property and he cut down trees and did a few other things without doing anything about getting permits. It’s quite a substantial structure he built and it’s strange he didn’t think that maybe a permit might be necessary to build. Self entitled rich guy. That rink wasn’t cheap to build from the looks of it. These days you can be sure that if you build it they will complain.
im 18 and older people like to say young kids dont go outside anymore and that they're lazy. This shit is why, playing basketballl or hockey? Some cranky fart might make a noise ocmplaint, cant walk or bike in a lot of places, kids need to depend on drives from your parents, your parents can get in trouble with CPS for letting their kids be independent. Alot of parents also think there's kidnappers on every corner. Ofcouse theres more to do inside like play video games but adults and there parenting styles and decision making have a bigger impact then they think.
Move to a neighborhood with real Canadian neighbours that love hockey. Connor Bedard used to fire shots at his net in North Vancouver for hours on end, every night. With other houses very close to where he was doing this. His neighbors never complained and in a recent news interview I watched the one woman who was a neighbor say she missed hearing the shots hitting the net!
He should have got permits or talked to the city before building anything that big.... I made probably a dozen rinks for my kids between 2008-2021. They were about 50' x 30'; but we have a 1/2 acre lot. It was up by late November, and down before the end of May. That thing looks permenant... They are probably going to make him take it down because he didn't get permits for removing trees or whatever he had done to his yard.....
The time...money and sheer work that this man put in to build this for his kids (and I'm sure the neighborhood kids are welcome too) is something that should not be destroyed. Shameful for anyone on the Markham council to think this way. We are in Canada...this is our game...this is our culture....this is our traditional Canadian Winter activity.
Take it out then put in a basket ball court, after that put in a tennis court, then just keep rotating. Then run for mayor and get theses idiots voted out.
Typical politicians. They have no clue. Let kids be kids. Better than them being bad. What has Canada become. Hope you get to keep it for your kids and hope your neighbors support you as i do in quesnel bc
What the hell is going on in Canada. When a homeowner goes to the expense of building a rink for his kids and I’m sure other kids to use the rink instead of being in front of the idiot box or tablet. I hope the town grows up and let’s this family keep its rink. If they where hammering while building a house till 11pm the town could say nothing about it, so what’s the big deal about a family having a rink. I hope some people who can make a change stand up for this family. If you can’t have a rink in your back yard then what’s next? This is such a sad state our country is in.
The thing that sucks the most, is being told what to do, on your own property by people who don't even exercise & are probably a bunch of scale tippers too!
The point not brought up in this one sided video is the property is a designated heritage site. The owner clear cutted the acre sized back yard of hundred years old trees and vegetation. No permits to do any of this. It is a parking lot sized anomaly now 9 months of the year.
The trees weren't 100 years old, they were all manitoba maples which isn't even a tree, its a weed.... google it. there were 10 of them, and in their place he replanted over 100 trees.
I grew up with an ice rink nearby and played hockey everyday during winters with other local kids, it's outrageous they would take away such a beautiful hockey rink like that from the youth! Shame!!
Hockey is our game its crazy...me i took care of a rink for a town and after 20 years they kick me out for no reasons i was taking care of ice taking of snow some supervision helping for activitys kids and adults pick up games were so much fun now bad ice always close no pick up almost no activitys and they get pay lot more than me...personaly i dont play in my own town anymore but away so sad people in charge not having logic and they dont care i made it to the news also
This is not a shame. I love hockey more than anything, I Love backyard rinks, skated on them BUT, you cannot think all the homes should have to listen to pucks hitting boards all hours of the day and night. I would not want to put up with it. Rinks of old are great where you just have a temporary ice pad with snow banks, but not this. For me it would be all about the noise, not the look. This Guy cannot actually think he could build this without a permit. Come on Man, you had to know this COULD happen. That is a ton of money to risk.
He does not live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. He lives on a heritage property with strict by-laws. He broke the rules, now he's being held accountable.
I didn't hear anything from the home owners statement saying the rink had to go because of immigrants, Trudeau, or even Poilievre like most of the comments claim. Sounds like a municipal bylaw, too bad but the rink was kind of overkill for a backyard rink (refrigeration and all).
Most of the comments are daft along with the idea this guy had of putting such an extravagant rink in his backyard. However, the complaints probably did have to do with neighbours. Nearly all of which are of HK provenance.
Seems kids have to do drugs and get in trouble for people to be truly happy, what a shame, we had a rink when I grew up it was enjoyed by everyone! My Mom would go out in the middle of the night flood it. Bring back the good times!
He built this with no building permits or municipal approval. The rules are there to safeguard communities so anything built meets regulations and safety codes . Homeowners need to be aware of what they can and cannot do .

a rink like this is not meant for a yard like that nobody wants to hear the nois eall day and night plus the led lights
That’s disgusting. The city should be ashamed of themselves.
It's your property do as U please !! don't let the neighbors run your life or what U do with your property 🤟😎🤟
Thanks for the support appreciate it🙏
How can the neighbours complain of noise when there is no ice yet???
What the hell is going on in Canada. When a homeowner goes to the expense of building a rink for his kids and I’m sure other kids to use the rink instead of being in front of the idiot box or tablet. I hope the town grows up and let’s this family keep its rink. If they where hammering while building a house till 11pm the town could say nothing about it, so what’s the big deal about a family having a rink. I hope some people who can make a change stand up for this family. If you can’t have a rink in your back yard then what’s next? This is such a sad state our country is in.
The thing that sucks the most, is being told what to do, on your own property by people who don't even exercise & are probably a bunch of scale tippers too!
“Why don’t kids play outside anymore?!”
Government overreach at its finest...
typical non Canadians complaining guaranteed
That’s like the biggest back yard
Ask for a permit first next time?
Fuck permits it's his property.
If people can put pools in there backyard why not a hockey rink?
Clearly not Canada anymore..
The point not brought up in this one sided video is the property is a designated heritage site. The owner clear cutted the acre sized back yard of hundred years old trees and vegetation. No permits to do any of this. It is a parking lot sized anomaly now 9 months of the year.
The trees weren't 100 years old, they were all manitoba maples which isn't even a tree, its a weed.... google it. there were 10 of them, and in their place he replanted over 100 trees.
manitoba maples live 60 years max.
This is really sad 🫣
It's your petty neighbours who are behind it, calling the city to complain..Haters everywhere.
Look at Google Maps, and you can tell the rink was built for TPHS, his business.
I grew up with an ice rink nearby and played hockey everyday during winters with other local kids, it's outrageous they would take away such a beautiful hockey rink like that from the youth! Shame!!
Hockey is our game its crazy...me i took care of a rink for a town and after 20 years they kick me out for no reasons i was taking care of ice taking of snow some supervision helping for activitys kids and adults pick up games were so much fun now bad ice always close no pick up almost no activitys and they get pay lot more than me...personaly i dont play in my own town anymore but away so sad people in charge not having logic and they dont care i made it to the news also
The city got to leave this man and his family alone. The city is just addicted to control and telling people what to do.
His neighbour funds a member on Markham council. That's why the city is going after him.
Liar
Yards not zoned for outdoor rinks.
This is not a shame. I love hockey more than anything, I Love backyard rinks, skated on them BUT, you cannot think all the homes should have to listen to pucks hitting boards all hours of the day and night. I would not want to put up with it. Rinks of old are great where you just have a temporary ice pad with snow banks, but not this. For me it would be all about the noise, not the look.
This Guy cannot actually think he could build this without a permit. Come on Man, you had to know this COULD happen. That is a ton of money to risk.
He does not live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. He lives on a heritage property with strict by-laws. He broke the rules, now he's being held accountable.
You shouldn't live out in the middle of nowhere to have a nice drinking canada. You fascist.
I didn't hear anything from the home owners statement saying the rink had to go because of immigrants, Trudeau, or even Poilievre like most of the comments claim. Sounds like a municipal bylaw, too bad but the rink was kind of overkill for a backyard rink (refrigeration and all).
Most of the comments are daft along with the idea this guy had of putting such an extravagant rink in his backyard. However, the complaints probably did have to do with neighbours. Nearly all of which are of HK provenance.
Seems kids have to do drugs and get in trouble for people to be truly happy, what a shame, we had a rink when I grew up it was enjoyed by everyone! My Mom would go out in the middle of the night flood it. Bring back the good times!
He built this with no building permits or municipal approval. The rules are there to safeguard communities so anything built meets regulations and safety codes . Homeowners need to be aware of what they can and cannot do .
Guy cuts down heritage trees for a rink ?..what a fool..rinks are fun yes but one that size does not belong in a back yard.
These kids spend hours on this rink and not on I Phones or playing video games and that's a problem?!?!
Pathetic from Markham and the neighbours. Bet if it was a makeshift cricket pitch they'd allow it.
the rink should stay, what harm is it doing. dumb laws
