There are actually 2 ice rinks in Macau, but only one with ice all year round. The Future Bright Amusement Center (Gei Geng) is a multi-sport rec center with bowling, arcade and ice rink. You guys back home would laugh at this rink. It is definitely not regulation size as it is a lot smaller than your standard North American rink, which is fine with us as we get older and older.
Some of the expats here have been playing weekly hockey for several years now and on a good night we get around 15 guys out for the evening. Most of the players are associated with the school, but there are also teachers from other schools, pilots and performers from the House of Dancing Water show. We always have 2 goalies and play 3 on 3. When fewer guys show up, it definitely makes for a lot of skating! 
After a good game, it is not very refreshing throwing on your shorts and walking out into the 30 degree weather at 11 pm! Despite the temperature, we make sure that we replenish our fluids (as any professional athletes would) and support the official beer of HNIM, Tsing Tao for some street beers before heading home.

early scouting reports from the Paper Cranes indicate heavy interest in "Eberle", despite being outmatched by Kesler.
