There's nothing like gliding by the Toronto skyline to wake you up on an icy Monday afternoon. And to the delight of the hockey obsessed, that pick-me-up is now possible because Molson Canadian built a skating rink atop the Richmond-Adelaide Centre at 120 Adelaide St. West.

At half the size of an NHL sheet, the small rink sits 32-storeys high and provides panoramic views of the city. Netting surrounds the entire ice surface, lest a stray puck fall from such great heights.

When I visit, it's about -10 C on the ground; it feels much chillier on the roof. After quickly lacing up my skates, I head out onto the ice and do a few laps while marvelling at the view. Soon, I'm dodging pucks as a small group of skaters start an impromptu game of shinny.

In October, Molson Canadian held a contest to give four winners a chance to skate on a sky-grazing rink. Meanwhile, a few perceptive Torontonians noticed a mysterious rooftop rink pop up in the Financial District. Naturally, it was Molson's.

Now, the beer company is opening up a second sweepstake starting on January 20. And if you're desperate to play pickup in the air, you and 20 buddies can always pay $2,000 ($100 each) for one hour of ice time.

The rink will stick around until February 7.
