In 2014 there was a notice in the Erindale Arbor Creek Community Newsletter looking for donations to purchase and equip a mobile warm up trailer for the outdoor rink at John G. Egnatoff School. It was called the “Toasty Toes campaign” and the Quinn Stevenson Memorial Spirit and Athletic Trust definitely wanted to be involved by making a donation since this rink was a spot Quinn spent a lot of hours at.
In 2015, Troy Carbno, one of the rink volunteers, came up with the idea to rename the outdoor rink after Quinn. The goal of this renaming was to give the rink an identity, and to create a community gathering place that people could enjoy and respect for years to come. At the Quinn Stevenson Memorial Golf Tournament that year, it was announced that the outdoor rink located behind Dr. John G. Egnatoff School would be renamed as the Quinn Stevenson Memorial Rink.
A sign was designed by Shane Kartz and produced by Kurt Huber at Minuteman Press once the rink was officially renamed. The sign was custom framed and mounted by Corey Nerbas, a friend of the Stevenson family. Jason Ilnisky and Jeff Michaluk, did all the preparation work for the installation. Harold Robertson, the principal at Dr. John G. Egnatoff helped facilitate the approval with the Saskatoon Public School board.
The original sign began to show signs of weathering in 2025. Consequently, we had Pelican Signs create a 'freshened' sign.
The rink is maintained by Erindale Arbor Creek Community volunteers.
It is a beautiful tribute to Quinn. Special thanks to everyone that has helped make this tribute possible.
