YardRink Starter Backyard Ice Hockey Rink 17' x 35'


Description

The YardRink Starter Rink brings a real backyard ice hockey experience to your home in a 17' x 35' oval footprint - perfectly sized for younger players developing their skating and stick handling skills. Unlike traditional rink kits, YardRink's panels are filled with water and frozen solid, creating an incredibly strong and durable wall that can take the abuse of real puck play. The tarp sits on the outside of the panels, keeping the interior surface completely clear of obstructions and making ice maintenance simple and straightforward. Puck retention nets on both ends keep the action moving and the pucks on the ice where they belong.

Setup is refreshingly simple with no brackets, straps, or kick plates to wrestle with - just connect the UV-resistant HDPE panels, stake the tarp, and fill with water. Every component is engineered for cold-weather performance, from the high-tensile UV-resistant cable ties to the triple-laminate woven tarp. As an officially licensed NHL product, the Starter Rink even comes with three official NHL shield logos, with optional team logo decals available for fans of any of the 32 NHL franchises.


Key Features

  • Official NHL Licensed Product: Includes 3 official NHL shield logos; optional team logo decals available for all 32 NHL teams including vintage options.
  • 17' x 35' Oval Rink Size: Ideal starter size for younger players and smaller yards, with upgrade options available to Medium, Standard, or Large.
  • Water-Filled Panel Walls: Panels fill with water and freeze solid, forming an extremely strong and resilient rink board - no hollow boards that crack or flex.
  • Tarp-Outside Design: The tarp wraps the exterior of the panels, keeping the rink interior completely free of tarp edges, trip hazards, and damage from skates, pucks, or shovels.
  • UV-Resistant HDPE Panels: Both straight and curved panels are made from UV-resistant high-density polyethylene for long-lasting outdoor performance season after season.
  • Puck Retention Nets: Two included puck retention nets (one per end) keep pucks in play and reduce time spent chasing errant shots.
  • No Brackets, Straps, or Kick Plates: Intuitive, tool-friendly assembly uses hex bolts and cable ties - no complicated hardware or proprietary tools required.
  • Triple-Laminate Tarp with Woven Blue Lines: White oval tarp features woven-in blue lines for an authentic rink look and added durability.
  • Freight Delivery with Liftgate: Ships on a single pallet via Truck Freight with liftgate service; freight carrier contacts you to schedule a delivery window.
  • Yard Slope Compatible: Designed for yards with up to 10" of slope in any direction.

NHL Team Logo Decals & Which to Choose

  • No Team Decals: Stick with the 3 included official NHL shield logos for a clean, league-branded look. Great for fans who cheer for the game, not just one team.
  • 3 Additional NHL Shield Logos: Add 3 more official NHL shield logos for extra branding around the rink. Perfect if you want a fully branded ice surface without committing to one franchise.
  • Team Logo Decals (Current Teams): Choose from Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild, Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and all other current NHL franchises. 3 team logo decals are included. The ideal choice for die-hard fans who want their rink to represent their squad.

FAQ

How does the water-filled panel system work?

The straight and curved HDPE panels each have a fill port. Once the rink is assembled and the tarp is laid out, you fill the panels with water using a hose. As temperatures drop, the water inside the panels freezes solid, turning each panel into an extremely strong and rigid board. This creates a much more durable wall than hollow or foam-filled alternatives and gives the rink a real professional feel.

Is the 17' x 35' Starter Rink big enough for real hockey?

The Starter Rink is ideal for younger players, beginners, and anyone focused on skating practice and stick handling drills. It's a great size for 1-on-1 play, skills development, and family fun. If you're planning on running full-speed 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 games, YardRink offers upgrade paths to Medium, Standard, and Large sizes to better accommodate competitive play.

How long does setup take?

Most customers report setup taking approximately 2.5 to 3 hours for the 17' x 35' Starter Rink. The system is designed to be intuitive with no brackets, straps, or kick plates - just hex bolts, cable ties, and the included hardware. Following the instructions carefully on your first setup makes future seasons even faster.

What kind of slope can my yard have?

YardRink is designed for yards with no more than 10 inches of slope in any direction across the rink area. If you're unsure about your yard's slope, YardRink's customer care team can help you assess whether your location is a good fit before you purchase.

How does the rink get delivered?

The Starter Rink ships on a single pallet via Truck Freight with liftgate service included. The freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery window. A signature is required at delivery, and you'll receive tracking information by email once your order ships. Delivery typically takes about one week after processing.

Can I upgrade to a larger rink later?

Yes - YardRink offers upgrade options directly from the Starter to Medium (+$700), Standard (+$1,500), or Large (+$2,300) sizes. This makes the Starter Rink a great entry point for families who want to start smaller and grow into a larger rink as their players develop.
