There is something called cold induced rhinorrhea that is similar but induced by the cold.The cold contributes for sure, but EIR can happen across a variety of other sports.

Government Confirms Reopening of Ice Rinks in England from 1st August! I’m sure you will all agree that it was positive news to hear the Government announce today (17th July), that Ice Skating Rinks in England (confirmed) will be allowed to open from Saturday 1st August in England, albeit that his has been a difficult path to achieve. Indicative dates have been agreed for Skating Rinks to reopen in Northern Ireland from the 7th August, while Scotland and Wales await further guidance.
DCMS have reviewed and approved the Return to Rinks document published in conjunction with partners from across the ice sport sector. This outlines how rinks can safely operate with social distancing in place in line with industry guidance and making ice venues COVID secure.
At British Ice Skating we have also produced our return to training guidelines which can be found on our website at the Resource Centre - COVID Resources and Information.
We look forward to seeing you all back on the ice soon.
I've heard about other rinks having the same problem. I need to launch a Kickstarter campaign for a porta-potty attachment for a Zuca.The bathrooms are closed! I wouldn't be able to attend, as I have to drive an hour or more to get to my ice rink.

But a Zuca accessory would be so, so très chic.You can get portable camping potties for under $200.

I just wrote to the guy at my rink today asking if I could get my unused tickets refunded. He’d told me that would be an option, and they would communicate with everyone when they had a better idea of when the rinks would be open. He wrote me back saying, yes, he would refund my money now rather than waiting. He told me the mail is slow at the university, but he would check weekly on my tickets; I put them in my mailbox this morning, so hopefully it won’t be too long before he gets them. It was 6 leftover tickets, so more than $70.
Maybe some day I’ll get to skate there again.
You know, only twice have I bought a book of freestyle tickets. The first time, I broke my ankle. This second time, YNW strikes. Coincidence?
My ice rink technically is just over the border and into Wales so I don't think it will reopen on 1st August. In any event I haven't skated since July 2019 because of the problem I had with my ankle. By the time I had surgery and was recovered enough to try to brave skating the crud happened so I didn't bother.
I would like to start back up again but i'm starting to weigh up the money it costs, not just ice time and lessons but the petrol for the journey there and back etc
I also weighed the cost versus benefit of returning, while sitting in my car after skating on Monday. At this point, due to the crud, I'm only skating once per week, and I had to think about whether or not the costs (money, time) are worth it, or if I should save money and effort and wait to return until I can get back more often each week, or if I should perhaps quit entirely. I've decided that I'm going to continue on once per week for now, and reassess in a bit. But stopping entirely wouldn't be unreasonable. If you yourself decided to stop, would you do something else instead? It might be an opportunity to try something different.
This is me as well. I'm objectively terrible at skating (no, I really am) but it's fun and while I'm skating I don't think about anything else, which is something I really need, even if it's only twice a week.But I do love skating and while i'm absolutely rubbish at it I really enjoy the process, its the one activity I do that clears my mind entirely - nothing ever creeps in when i'm skating (not work stress or anything) so I think they benefits are there.
I don't know what your schedule is like @antmanb but I used to do my lesson at lunchtime when I was WFH or on the way to work.
