When you say "warroad's old rink" do you mean the old gardens downtown? or the olympic arena? THe old gardens rocked, had 1 side without any glass. Talk about up close and personal with the play there.

I'll go with Ely on this one, it's way out in the middle of nowhere and the smell of the air is enough to make you noxious. Hibbing fairgrounds are pretty bad too. I have to defend my home rink of Moose Lake on this one. Yeah, it does look terrible, and I think the visiting locker rooms suck (sorry bout that) but we've got new boards and seemless glass plus I think it's the best ice I've ever skated on, and that's without being biased. So what if it's cold, you call yourself a hockey player? Then get used to it!

there has been an ongoing plan to replace the flake barn, but it will be a few years. my guess is 3-4 years.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

The old cloquet arena is sweet. I played there my last year of bantams in a tournament and I thought it was a great atmosphere.

St. Olaf uses Northfield as its home rink.

Has anyone been to Nymore Arena in Bemidji lately, I'm pretty sure it takes the trophy hands down.

I don't know if anybody remembers but back in squirts and pee wees we had to play a team from Redwood Falls and back then they didn't even have an indoor ice rink. It was brutal driving hours away to murder a team in freezing cold weather. I'm pretty sure they've gotten a new rink since then though...

Anybody remember the Inver Grove Bubble? That was c c c c c cold!

Kodiak, ill have to agree with you on that one...

Redwood Falls has got a beautiful rink. It opened about 5 years ago in my oldest son's last year of bantams. From what I rememer, they did almost everything right. Plus, it's connected to their fieldhouse which is connected to the high school. My youngest is a pee wee and we'll be making the 2-hour drive their in January.

I'm gonna agree with Northfield Arena... Carleton plays there too you know... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> And has anybody mentioned the Proctor barn? I went to my brother's bantam tourney there and it was soooo cold. What it is... Its Knight Time Baby!!!

Anyone remember the old "bubble" in Gilbert? That had to be one of the all-time junkers. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Actually, I think they still use natural ice in their newer arena, too! (and I use the terms newer and arena very loosely) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
