A refrigeration system (100) for an outdoor ice skating rink (10) includes a first heat exchanger (20) that has a first conduit (22) therein and is located outdoors. The first conduit (22) has a first inlet (24) and a first outlet (26) and is configured to discharge heat to the outdoor ambient air. The refrigeration system (100) includes a second heat exchanger (30) that has a second conduit (32) therein, and is in thermal communication with water in the ice skating rink (10). The second conduit (32) has a second inlet (34) and a second outlet (36) and is configured to absorb heat from the water. The second outlet (36) is in fluid communication with the first inlet (24) via a warm- side conduit (40). The first outlet (26) is in fluid communication with the second inlet (34) via a cold-side conduit (50). One or more conveying devices (60, 60') are located in a closed loop that includes the first conduit (22), the second conduit (32), the warm-side conduit (40), and the cold- side conduit (50).

A connector for removably securing and vertically stacking perimeter components of a skating rink. The connector includes an elongated body extending a length from a first axial end to a second axial end along an axis thereof. The length is selected to span a height of at least two perimeter components. A first anchoring feature extends at least a portion of the length into or along a first lateral side of the elongated body. A second anchoring feature extends at least a portion of the length into or along a second lateral side of the elongated body.
