yeah i would have to agree with the northfield rink. stands on one side really high boards glass right below the stands the doors are about two feet up from the ice the boards have edges sticking out that cause the puck to do crazy things and of course the extremely small lockers

One of the Rochester rinks there is one that isnt bad but the other one is terrible. the ice is soft the rink is hot and there is nowhere for fans.

A rink called northfield

Post by runingwithechukchi »

A rink in the town called Northfield. I guess Jesse James did take all the towns money and northfield can't afford a new rink or even some basic updating. The door to the locker rooms are notched at the corners so they have room to open and close. The one corner of the rink is either missing a light or light bulb and if you lose the puck in that corner good luck finding it. Oh and the one door on each end of the benches is about 5 feet from the far red line. With 1 division3 school and with Carlton having a team next year you would think they could support 2 rinks in that area.

i disagree. the barn in cloquet maybe be a lil old or w/e but its a fun place to play....the ice is good and the atmosphere is great when theres quite a few fans. just my opinion tho
