The Forum in Halifax would like a word with you. And the defunct Dalhousie Memorial Arena too.

The single weirdest bench I have been on was at Kings Arrow Arena in Oromocto , they have a huge support beam 2/3 of the way down one of the benches … in minor hockey we would do forwards on the long side and D on the short side , running 5 D - 2 would stand and 3 would sit and we could fit that way.

When the Grand Lake Thrashers (crazy good team Werner’s, Jeff Wilson , Burgoyne , Smallman etc) briefly played at the KA or for OHS games , it is the single most crowded bench you wil see

I think, been a while, that the old arena in Grand Falls used to have a bench sort of like the one at the old DAL arena, but only one height, the higher bench so you'd sit above the boards. Guess who face planted on the ice trying to get on.

The LBR will always be the GOAT CIS arena in my mind.

God I love that place, the big end boards , when I was in high school I witnessed some crazy shit happen in that old barn.

Atmosphere at high school games was crazy, people hanging over the glass spitting on players etc ..

At the end of the day they could have told the teams they were heading to a Middle School gym to play floor hockey to decide the championship and everyone still would have been playing under the same circumstances, Ottawa won, the team is coached by a guy who left a hell of a legacy out East, I’ve never heard anything but insanely good things about him, I know MacDougall has a very high opinion of him… I’m happy for them and for him…

My dad always mentioned his last AUS game , a loss in Antigonish when he came over after the handshake line to have a talk with GMac and an extra shaking of hands …

As well as the Lady Beaverbrook in Fredericton (home to UNB from '58 to '74 and STU from '64 to '12)

Thanks. I'm still cranky though

Only thing I've ever hated about Pat Grandmaitre is all the points he point up against us.

The LBR was my first road game, way back in '98-'99. I was glad to be there for the last AUS men's and women's hockey game. While I hated going there, it will always be a special place.
