Abstract: This article explains that a team of Canadian climate scientists predict the widespread disappearance of outdoor hockey rinks across the Canada in the next 50 years due to global warming.

Extract: « “Wayne Gretzky learned to skate on a backyard skating rink; our results imply that such opportunities may not be available to future generations of Canadian children.”

« Canada in standard climate-change models will result in fewer and fewer viable locations for outdoor rinks in Canada and shorter and shorter seasons in most places where skating persists. »
