TOP 10 THINGS ABOUT OLD HOCKEY ARENAS

[@MrGUnit27]

My personal favourite is when there's only one ad in the entire arena and it's for some random real estate agent or local car dealership

[@theodorep9569]

Or the local knights of Columbus or rotary club

[@devinbrita3770]

Hahaa and most of them are no longer in business

[@HushPuppy106]

1 ad? Bruh. Absolute cap

[@kinggeorgeiii7515]

Or rabies

[@bardownfan3125]

Everything about this correct except he forgot the tiny locker rooms

[@MrLust_mini]

Yep

[@Machtyn]

It's so sad that my rink has the girls use the back of a the supply room to change for the co-ed beer league games.

[@theodorep9569]

The perfect covid Petri dish

[@HushPuppy106]

Some big af too tho

[@johnsonpgd9164]

And little to no hot water.

[@gabrielspiers3903]

I remember when there wasn’t a stick rack, it was just the corner near the door.

[@bubs1195]

Varsity view was definitely in my top 5 rinks when I played

[@keeganfreiheit3252]

This is luxury stuff, none of the barns I played in had heaters or fancy seats, but other than that, bang on and great vid

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

I love an old barn. My hometown rink was like this but way older. Our zamboni was a tractor for the longer time.

[@HushPuppy106]

This is exactly right. What a banger Jesse

[@nikolasfurletti223]

Hey this is Varsity View. I grew up in this rink!!!!

[@manitobaoutdooradventures3780]

Varsity view lots of great memories

[@oozyalmond7079]

I actually went to this arena and my team got their first win of the season here. I was the away team.

[@elisabethrome7348]

My brother played hockey and this is spot on

[@bigbreviews]

I've been in that rink before and it's even better than shown

[@souljaboysghostwriter2556]

Gotta mention the snack machines too for candy, nuts and bubble gum, those are a staple. Also the smell in the lobby with the crisp air, hockey equipment and deep fried foods from the cafeteria

[@metalstoner4205]

I remember getting kicked out of a game in that rink 🤣

[@playboichicken65]

What rink is this?

[@playboichicken65]

What did you get (ejected) for

[@Orangutangang20]

I play here all the time!

[@notsoseriousrankings3989]

You'd love the ice rink in Helena, MT. The Bighorns have the greatest vintage rink!

[@Bigmonto]

I wish I grew up with hockey I always loved going to the rink and just skating as fast as I could as a kid.

[@grievousjab4213]

These hit different, especially at tourneys away from home

[@firebird200]

My youth organization had Ben Bishop, Patrick Maroon, and La-La-La-Lafontaine

[@TheManFromDonair]

This could be expanded, felt like a teaser for a bigger video

[@NESADDICT]

The Pavillion in Greenville South Carolina is just like this. Minus the famous players jerseys. 😂 I never made it🤣🤣🤣

[@cw9515]

Early - mid 90’s high school hockey player here and this was stop on. Don’t forget the dome hockey game in the lobby 🤓

[@beckanderson8866]

This was my home arena, it’s called varsity view in Winnipeg mb. Bro this brings back memories

[@tyler_krause2246]

Hate that so many are getting taken down

[@cheesybacon1000]

This made me so nostalgic

[@bigman9094]

You'd love Minnesota rinks! They're almost all like this if not even more used. Or if you're from one of the rich towns then you're rivaling some AHL rinks lmao

[@brendanstewart7985]

When ‘old’ hockey rinks are better than any rink in Australia

[@Jaxson204Volleyball]

Yo that’s where my playoffs were

[@oddpetrichor8068]

I took me a while to figure out he wasn’t joking - that is NOT what I would call an OLD rink! That looks pretty damn spiffy to me!

[@jnfutbol742]

This was my home teams arena Varsity View Falcons Baby!!

[@bigbreviews]

[@spyder027]

This perfectly described a lot of rinks I play at😂

[@nyrangersfan05]

Never seen heaters before. In the locker rooms, yea. Not for the patents tho. Our moms always had to freeze their bums to metal stands.. 🥶

Don’t forget the advertisements over the benches

[@aidenbrulotte1723]

Theo Fleury and Gino Odjick played in the NPHL in 2004

[@theodorep9569]

And now Theo Fleury is certifiable qanon batshit nuts. CTE? Shame, he was inspiring when on skates.

[@metalsurgeon9196]

Got that used to be a community here feel just like my local roller rink.

[@Gangrenoose]

So accurate but you forgot the sweet and salty smell of sweat

[@funkyatomicmonkey]

[@MINIbigmac10]

This is just every arena in northwest Ontario 🤣

[@sobbs2283]

[@jeremymccorrister2757]

[@sheepdog875]

I feel like I recognize this. Is this in South Carolina by any chance?

[@thompsonstv2315]

If your wondering what arena that is, it’s varsity view arena. I would know because I got my ass kicked there.

[@bigbreviews]

So did I man, it's rough

[@johnsonpgd9164]

How about the crappy old Zam exhaust. Almost made your eyes water!
And the small not regulation ice surface because the building wasn’t big enough to start with!
