and Shea construct the ice rink. J.C. had texted her uncle Will who had taken his wife to visit her family in Ohio for the holidays. Will was on the road, but he’d taken time to send a link to the Cloud Spin hockey page on a popular social media network. After he’d posted a call for volunteers to help, people had started showing up within the hour, proving how much local residents had missed the tradition. Half the parents of Walt Walker’s mites and peewee teams had come and brought their players with them. John and Lisa Elliot were one of the first on board, bringing their son Riley. Shea was with them now, pulling sleds out of one of the storage barns behind the ice rink. Most of the volunteers were shoveling snow for safe paths from the field near the Walker house. Although a couple of guys had cleared a parking area for cars on the empty field near the house, the hill behind the house needed to be shoveled by hand. The more skilled of the volunteers were finishing up the brackets for the boards so they could start filling the rink.
