I absolutely love the old barn in cloquet. its the new arena that i don't like cause its so hot. I can't stand it when its just barely cold enoght to still have ice.

Well if it isn't my friend GopherPukePlayer. Maybe you'll just have to drink a little more to keep warm

The new Heritage Center in duluth looks like a nice arena.

If you want the best arena for high school and below your going to have to go with

1. Thief River Falls Ralph Engelstad

2. Schwans Super Rink (Very questionable, would you rather have a couple of decent rinks or one phenominal rink?)

3. Warroad Gardens (Its nice but is it worthy of 3rd place or is it lower?):?

No comment on the bad rinks.

Best-
Cloquet (barn)- The ice is fast
Duluth heritage center-everything is nice, the ice is pretty fast and the lockeroom are big, and everyone is in the game
Grand rappids- the whole building is nice

Worts-
Proctor- the ice is ok but the lockerooms are tiny and the boards have huge gaps in them, and the train whistle that they had was annoyyiiinnnnggggg
Colquet (the new rink)- lockerooms are nice but the ice is way to slow
Pine city- There is no life in the arena every thing in it is to quite
