Elk River is always great unless your the opponents being hassled. But the fans from both sides always get into it.

For your information, Aldrich Arena is in Maplewood - not White Bear Lake.

Riverside Arena

Post by Sioux Fan »

Riverside Arena, Austin MN.

My dad Richard Notermann was instrumental in building this facility and is very ill and may be leaving us soon. I remember putting the first ice in the rink in my junior season. We stayed up all night and painted the ice and played a scrimmage the next day. Many great hockey players played there. I really like what Bob Motzko is doing at St. Cloud he grew up a few blocks from the rink.

I have many great hockey memories from there. Lou Vairo's Mavericks playing against Doug Woog's St. Paul Vulcans... Those were some battles.

It is a beautiful rink.

What's everybody's fascination with BIG? It's never struck me as anything all that special - it's just a rink(s). People dig the olympic sized ice or something?

Parade. They always had the best ice to skate on and the spectator area is laid out nicely.

Aldrich Arena
Braemar Arena

Fairgrounds Coliseum for sectionals, not for the Arena, but the atmosphere and tradition.

If you want to check out great atmosphere... Go to a Cloquet - Duluth East game at the Lumberdome. Make sure you get there at the start of the JV game if you want to get a seat.
