Hockey at the University will begin in 1921 under conditions more auspicious than there have been since the loss of the Arena by fire in 1918. Last season the team's development was aided by the building of the new bankrupt Pavilion rink on Massachusetts avenue, and this next year the rebuilt Arena on St. Botolph street will give the team an excellent rink for games and practice. The new building will include seating space for 5000 spectators, and in addition will have a playing surface 90 feet wide and 220 feet long. The rink itself will be oval...
...Arena will be of the most modern construction and the building will be adaptable to many uses. The method of making the ice used in the Philadelphia rink will probably be adopted. By this system the pipes containing the freezing mixture are laid just beneath the surface of the floor, which is built of concrete of a new composition and is an easy conductor. Thus steam can be run through the pipes and the ice melted and floor cleaned in a short space of time to accommodate a track meet. It is probable that the building will be used next...
...announcement that a new Arena is to be erected on the site of the old one should be received with enthusiasm. Hockey in 1918 suffered greatly through the lack of a rink, and it was not until the completion of the Pavilion this last season that regular daily practice could be held. The Pavilion met an urgent need, but in the early part of the season the team was handicapped by having to change to the six-man game; and in addition, the seating capacity was very small...
...Arena, with a capacity for five thousand spectators and a playing surface larger than the Charlesbank rink, is welcomed as the remedy for these conditions. Not only will the new building be valuable to the University hockey team, but it will be adaptable to other uses as well. The pipes containing the freezing mixture are to be laid just under the surface of a composition concrete floor, so that by conducting steam through them, in a short space of time the floor may be prepared for an indoor track meet. It may be used also for other events, the Yale...
...opened with a rush on the part of the Crimson team and the brilliant passing and accurate shots of the forwards netted three goals within as many minutes. Bigelow swerved between the backs for the first of these; Walker slipped the second in after a pretty dash from mid rink; and Snelling brought his total to two goals on another bounding shot from a scrimmage before the Tiger net. At this point D. Angier '22 and J. Martin '22 replaced Bacon and Baker on the wings, while T. M. Avery '21 took Snelling's place in the line. Captain Walker...
