I try to visit that arena every time I'm traveling within 50 miles of Lake Placid. It's like a cathedral for us hockey fans. LOL.

The one other place that fit into the same category was the old Montreal Forum. It was utterly awe-inspiring to go into that place and see 24 Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters.

I only played there for a year, went to a prep school at the other end of the lake, and that’s where we practiced and played our games.

I was unexpectedly awed by a visit to the arena at Lake Placid. I recommend going there during the off season, when the arena is essentially empty, and you can hear the recording of the game faintly echoing from the adjacent museum.
