At the end of the day we all want ice-hockey so lets take it where we can, the old barn has a charisma not felt any place else, i watch games all over the country and can honestly say its the rink / arena / whatever that i've enjoyed my best nights. Re-Jason Pitton suspended, it would never have happened if Bowen hadn't got away scot-free on all his cheap shots then as can be clearly seen at the end of the first period on the game video at centre ice shakes his gloves at Flyers players as if he wanted to fight somebody and when it looked like a challenger was rushing to the scene ( JP ) ran like the chicken he is into the body of his own team TO HIDE. Noticed he hadn't taken his bravery pill on Thursday night though, good job for him no Flyers player used his tactics trying to instigate trouble.

Sorry to go off topic a bit, but as a junior i played at the old dundee rink. it was very similiar to the fia and built around the same time. the only difference is the fia has been maintained and kept going and the dundee rink was allowed to go derelict and was demolished!

I'll never forget the night a Rockets fan dived into the crowd, he got a few sore licks then heaved over the stand barrier onto the ground, what a wally. There were a lot of memories at that old rink but another that stood out was Gary Ungers goal tally in a TV game against Edinburgh Racers .....did it finish Unger 8 / Racers 8 ? thats what i recall.

now your asking. i can vaguely remember gary unger, he was an nhl'r that played for dundee toward the end of his career. i remember they had the bar, a bit like the lounge at the rink, only it was down the side rather than at the end, and they used to play "walk of life" by dire straits all the time when a goal was scored.

Yes Dundee was very similar to our rink. Gary Unger (iron man) was a great player. Those were the days when retired Nhl players graced our shores.
