For those who enjoy ice skating, there’s plenty of spots to lace ‘em up, but one spot in Westlake has been attracting skaters for years.
WESTLAKE, Ohio — This cold snap is good news for many Northeast Ohio residents who have a winter hobby.
There’s a spot off Bradley Road, marked only by a wooden bench. But when temperatures plummet, you’ll find scores of skaters on the flooded-out field perfecting their craft. “We came out here before 10 a.m. and they couldn’t be more excited,” said Patrick’s mother, Allison. “When the boys are out here with their teammates, I just think to myself that these are the things that they’ll really remember.”
Nine-year-old Tommy Hutchinson was one of many on the ice Thursday afternoon. He’s been skating for about five years and Tommy and his friends take every opportunity they get to tie on their skates and get some stickhandling work in. “All of the ages play so well,” said Allison Kaufman. “Sometimes there will even be high school players out here and it really doesn’t matter. As long as you have skates and a stick you fit right in.”
