Young Arena, Waterloo, Iowa. Also Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Olympic size ice here in Waterloo, and the CR arena has both an NHL and Olympic rink. Both are home to USHL teams. Have taken the youngest one to public skates at a couple other rinks here in Iowa as well in Dubuque and Coralville.


I was in Fairfield today and now I'm staying in Ottumwa. Tomorrow we will be in De Witt and I think I found a rink in Davenport, ever skated there?

NHL teams could care less that you want a pair of brand new Warrior Luxe/Franchise custom thumb loop super custom digi toilet paper soft palm with double added reinforced custom Warrior logo backhand padding gloves or a 17 flex double kreps curve upside down toe hook stick from your fav player/team. -Bakes

When at home in Ga: Kennesaw Ice forum
When in Birmingham, AL. Pelham Civic center. Where The frozen Tide plays :D. Actually a very nice facility I think. Atleast compared to
Kennesaw.

WFCU Centre in Windsor. Really good ice on all 4 rinks. The bowl rink (Spitfires rink) is fantastic to skate on especially.

For those of you in Toronto, I can't remember if it is Vic Park or Canlan that has the small parking lot and very shady underground garage. I've played there a few times when I visit my buddy in Richmond Hill. He pulls me out for his D and C league teams. I liked the run-down feel, but yeah, I just remember that really shady garage.

Winnipeg rinks:

Archwood Community Centre - my favourite outdoor rink. Right by the river and surrounded by trees to shelter from the wind.

Highlander - where I play beer league.

Notre Dame - Great ice any time of the year.

The Old Ex - Saturday morning pickup.

I play everywhere, but those are the four I know the best. I dig Dutton and Max Bell because they're international size.

I'm old school like DDUNKS1, I play Sunday mornings at the legendary Stampede Corral. I can't believe the Flames played NHL hockey there, it is pretty rustic! Of course none of the NHL rinks were that great in the early 80's.

Canlan took it over a few years back or something. god I havent been there in years. Played there every so often when I was really young. Its surrounded by Chinese restaurants n' stuff. Never liked playing there. The change rooms used to be so ...gritty. but yeah, shady is a good way of phrasing it.

Im kinda bummed I never got to skate at the Windsor rinks when I was living there. Of course I only lived there for under 2 months, but still.

Oh cool, third rink will be great. Love to see hockey gaining more and more popularity in the area. My home rink was Ice Line, doubt Oaks will be able to compete with them and their quad rink though, ice line's facility really is top notch. I played for Conestoga HS then moved north to Connecticut to play for Gunnery in the prep league up there.



I played for few middle school teams because upper merion had no team i played radnor conestoga then boyertown then radnor. How hard was the test to get into Gunnery?

Oceanside Arena in Tempe 10 min drive, Arcadia Ice Arena a few miles away in Phoenix 20 minute drive, and Polar Ice Chandler 8 minute drive, Love it!

Oceanside is the best in my eyes

Feel free to check out my hockey reviews, or random stuff

I play in a bunch but as follow:

- Team plays out of Rinx the one on Duflaw near Yorkdale
- Canlan Scarborough & Vic Park
- Agincourt weekday mornings in the winter $5 shinny for 2 hours can't beat it, most of the time 2 or 3 guys will have the pad to practice as they want.
