Also a fact: "several" does not begin to provide enough space for all the teams that are training and the vast majority don't have private facility that permits field clearing.

Counties won’t let clubs clear public fields.

VRSC cleared their fields. It can be done if you know what you're doing.

Counties won't invest the time or money to clear the fields properly.


They can just raise the prices for white claws at the bar!


I could go for a white claw with an outdoor heater while the kids practice. You people are a bunch of haters if you can’t appreciate that! Maybe not white claw, but I am sure i could find something…

They have special plows specifically for turf but I don't think the local counties have them or would allow them.

The fields are ice so it doesn't matter either way.

A rubber-edge plow is approved by most turf surface installation companies. Most entities simply do not invest in the equipment.
