Long praire, Fryberger and Cloquet top the worst arenas ever <p></p><i></i>

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. <p></p><i></i>

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! <p></p><i></i>

One word...CHISHOLM! <p></p><i></i>

the rec. center in Rochester is absolutely horrilbe!!!! <p></p><i></i>

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

Windom <p></p><i></i>

the rec center isn't half as bad as graham arena in rochester. <br>now that is a horrible arena <p></p><i></i>

Northfield iis really bad and they play college hockey there. Do not forget about Minnehaha Academy. <p></p><i></i>

Moose Lake is COLD. Ely is flippin' freezing. You know it's bad when it's warmer outside then inside.<br><br>Chisholm's dump of an arena is cold...brrr....<br><br>I. Falls fairgrounds and Hibbing fairgrounds are also very cold. <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>

what team plays at northfield?<br><br>The old colquet barn is so cold...holes in the ceiling but really fast/smooth ice. Minnehaha is really bad..not a lot going for me their....what about SPA?--that is brutal <p></p><i></i>

baudette ... hands down.<br><br>colder than a witches tooth.<br><br>lilo (& stitch) <p></p><i></i>

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. <p></p><i></i>

St. Olaf uses Northfield as its home rink. <p></p><i></i>

SPA was brutial that was for sure, new management place, looking nice with Hamline playing there <p></p><i></i>

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

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... <p></p><i></i>

Anybody remember the Inver Grove Bubble? That was c c c c c cold! <p></p><i></i>

Kodiak, ill have to agree with you on that one... <p></p><i></i>

<br>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. <p></p><i></i>

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