I turn 46 in a week and I can remember going to games in the late '60s at the old old arena. It was an old quanset hut with chicken wire for glass and plywood covering the corners of the square sheet of ice at the rounded corner of the playing surface. They kept the Zamboni in the lobby of the arena between periods. Then in 72 they moved to Winter Sports Complex. It's still a great building. Saw Wisconsin beat Harvard there in the '83 NCAA Final. Lots of fights. Scott Marvin had blood on his home jersey the entire year in '76 from a scrap. You wouldn't believe how violent college hockey was in the '70s and 80's. Youtube "waterbottle incident" <br />Only been to two games in the new place. Saw the ceremony when they hoisted the late Terry Casey's #12 to the ceiling. That was a nice touch. His widow and daughter were there. <br /> BonePatrolGPandtheFergshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733796873719096756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047658040359226303.post-71014133528939288852012-12-14T18:09:43.352-05:002012-12-14T18:09:43.352-05:00Great article.
