Best Hockey Rink

Best in metro- Brooklyn Park old side (the old wood is great). But worst (in metro) has to be Columbia. What a shame. They once housed the Vulcans and the original Mighty Ducks were also taped there. Now its a crap hole.

Definately Bronco Arena. Fast ice, nice and cold, and a really good atmosphere when the place has lots of fans. (Which has been a while, come on Bronco Fans!)

The mini Ralph in thief river is really cool. The DECC in duluth is also pretty sweet.

I haven't actually been inside of it yet, but the Schwann's Arena in Blaine looks really nice for fans/spectators. GR is really nice though, great ice, and Bloomington Ice Gardens is really nice too.
