From Ian H. Taras, M.D. on Jan 27, 2006. "I played hockey there when my team went "on the road" in the  1970s.  It was  a free standing building & otherwise, I have no idea  where it was or what is there now.  I remember that it was colder and  smaller than the Van Nuys Iceland (yes, that is possible) & they would play  a recording of the National Anthem before the hockey games, which was pretty  cool for an 8 year old to feel  like he was an NHL player!"
