Sadly the outdoor rink in the Bronx did not reopen this season. I'm not sure what the exact cause is, but I recall it had only a limited budget in order to promote the opening of a more permanent facility in the area. This will be accomplished when the Kingsbridge Armory site opens in 2017.
The website for Van Cortlandt says there's a chance it will be back next year though. This is too bad because they really did a great job last season with the upgrades, such as benches, full height glass, and heated changing rooms. I really enjoyed those cold nights under the stars, and the El train, playing pond hockey with Steve and the boys (and that one girl from Michigan).
Hopefully it's back again next year as outdoor pond hockey is a truly unique experience.

Beer Hockey Philisophy
This photo sums up how one needs to play adult recreational hockey. Beer and pizza post-game celebration win, lose, or draw. The difficulty, as my team has had the last few weeks, is just finding a pizzeria open that late.
