Skating Party & Chili Cook-Off
The two Manor Park rinks come alive with hockey games and pleasure skating during our annual Skating Party & Chili Cook-Off. On the first Saturday in February, the party opens with our ‘Manor Park Winter Classic’ exhibition hockey games between local teams. Following the games, families take to the ice to build up an appetite for the Chili Cook-off entries, hot dogs and s’mores! Glowing bonfires and a fun playlist will keep everyone toasty until we crown our Chili Champ at the end of the event.
