The Rink Was Our Backyard Hoodie – Vintage Outdoor Hockey Sweatshirt | Prairie Life Co.

Before the arenas.
Before the tournaments.
The rink was our backyard.

Our The Rink Was Our Backyard Hoodie is a tribute to Canadian winter traditions — hand-shoveled rinks, snowbanks for boards, frozen hoses, and endless games under string lights.

Dad was out there flooding the rink, hose in hand, making sure the ice would be perfect by morning… but the kids couldn’t wait until he was done. Skates were already laced. Sticks were already out. The puck was already sliding across the fresh layer before the water even had time to freeze.

That’s the magic this design captures.

The detailed vintage-style sketch reflects small-town outdoor hockey culture — the kind built in backyards, not arenas.

Part of the Exclusive Prairie Life Co. Collection, this premium unisex hoodie is made for hockey families, rink kids, and anyone who grew up counting the minutes until the ice was “ready.”

Available in a variety of colors, it’s perfect for:

• Outdoor rink nights

• Pond hockey tournaments

• Hockey parents at the arena

• Winter bonfires

• Everyday Canadian winter wear

Features:

✔ Soft fleece interior for all-day warmth
✔ Classic unisex fit – true to size
✔ High-quality detailed sketch print
✔ Durable print that won’t crack or fade
✔ Available in multiple colors
✔ Designed in Canada

This isn’t just a hoodie.
It’s a memory of the winters that shaped us.

The rink was our backyard. And we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
