History of Ice Out Sylvan Lake to update annually

We started following the ice out dates in 2019.  I have no record of the family winners of our ice out competition from 2019-2021.  If anyone remembers who won which year let me know and I will update the list.

The ice has melted completely on the ice as early as April 15 and as late as May 30. 
In using different sources the following is a list of the dates the ice on the lake was completely gone.  In using a recent resource there were a couple of dates that were different hence the ? marks on some of the entries.
