They say the rink won't likely open until the first week of January once the weather has gotten cold enough.
However, the outdoor rink at Kitchener City Hall is slated to open for the season on Dec. 1.
Meanwhile, the City of Kitchener says free community skates will be featured at local arenas this season with no registration required.
