Logan Samson is extremely excited to get back on the ice with his friends playing the game he loves, hockey. He plays on the Timbits Teal Sharks and he wears #10.

Although he will have to wait for that to happen until Manitoba gets out of 'Code Red' restrictions, he is staying sharp on the ice.

Just like so many families in the Parkland, the Samson's from Dauphin have created their own backyard creation. Luke and Nicole Samson teamed up to make the rink and of course, decorate it with some candy canes.

"I just wanted to put something magical together to boost all of our spirits during the holidays and we thought this would be a great idea," said Nicole. 

Since the rink was built, Logan has been taking advantage of it as often as he can and when the family is all done skating for the day, they sit by the bonfire for some more laughs and snacks as well.

When Logan does get back on the ice, he will continue setting up his teammates. He likes to call himself a playmaker.

"I like passing it to my teammates for them to score," ended Logan. 

Logan says his favourite part about having a backyard rink is that he gets to skate with his family and he loves the candy canes that are lit up.
