Midnight on Fridays...
Late teen years, could rent the rink cheap for 2 hours, 10 - 12 guys could split the cost easily...
The a-holes that showed up with beer breath were puking/sucking air in the first half hour...
I remember times like that. We use to play at this rink in NJ called Fritz Deitl’s. We’d rent the ice from like 2am-4am. Sometimes some of the guys couldn’t skate the length of the rink after about the first fifteen minutes. Used to blow by those boys and have breakaways all night...just had to bide your time.
