YardRink Junior Rink - Backyard Home Ice Rink 15' x 27'
Description
The YardRink Junior Rink is the perfect entry point for bringing real backyard ice to your home. Sized at 15' x 27', it's designed specifically for young players who are just discovering skating and hockey, giving them a safe, fun surface to practice drills, stickhandle, and skate freely. The innovative panel system fills with water and freezes solid, creating incredibly strong walls that stand up to real puck play along both straight and curved sections.
What sets YardRink apart is its clean, tarp-on-the-outside design - the liner stays completely free of pucks, skates, and shovels on the interior, making maintenance a breeze all season long. There are no brackets, straps, or kick plates to deal with, so setup is straightforward and intuitive. As an officially licensed product of the NHL, the Junior Rink delivers authentic backyard hockey fun that the whole family will love.

FAQ
Does the Junior Rink come with puck retention nets?
No - the Junior Rink does not include puck retention nets. If keeping pucks inside the rink is important to you, consider upgrading to a larger YardRink model that includes net options, or purchasing nets separately.
How do the panel walls work? Do they really freeze solid?
Yes! Each panel has a fill port that you use to add water. Once filled and exposed to freezing temperatures, the water inside the panels freezes solid, creating an incredibly strong and stable rink wall. This design is one of YardRink's biggest advantages over traditional tarp-and-board setups.
My yard has a slight slope - will this rink still work?
The YardRink Junior Rink is designed to work on yards with up to 10 inches of slope in any direction. If you're unsure about your yard's slope, YardRink's customer care team can help you assess your space before purchasing.
How long does setup take?
Most families find setup to be straightforward and intuitive, with no brackets, straps, or kick plates required. Setup time will vary, but many customers report being ready to fill panels within an hour or two. Once filled, you'll need to wait for temperatures to drop below freezing for the ice to set.
How is the rink delivered?
The Junior Rink ships on a single pallet via Truck Freight with liftgate service included. The freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window, and a signature is required at delivery. Tracking information will be sent via email once your order ships. Delivery typically takes about one week after processing.
Is this rink appropriate for adults, or just kids?
The Junior Rink at 15' x 27' is sized primarily for young players - it's great for kids learning to skate, practicing stickhandling, and doing basic drills. Adults can certainly enjoy it too, but if you're looking for a rink with more room to skate or play a full game, YardRink's larger models (Starter, Medium, Standard, and Large) may be a better fit.
