A group of senior hockey players have found a new venue for their weekly games of shinny after local arenas had to close due to the pandemic.
The group, dubbed the Mad Hatters, meet three times a week at the outdoor arena at Mono Centre for a friendly morning game.
They used to play indoors at Orangeville arenas, but when the arenas closed they moved over to the big ice surface at Teen Ranch.
They were only able to play two games there before that venue also had to close. Not wanting to give up a year of hockey, they started looking for somewhere else to play. They found the rink in Mono with posted times allowed for hockey.
