Original Toronto Star caption: Metro's biggest hockey rink is at Michael Coyle's disposal as he skates by himself with a hockey stick and puck in the middle of the lagoon off Algonquin Island. Coyle is one of many Toronto island year-round residents who are enjoying themselves in the winter; as well as in the summer. It will be good skating weather tomorrow; with mainly sunny skies; snowflurries and a high of nearly 25 forecast.
