musings
Mike had a goalie camp here in the summer of 2008, so we were able to get in and meander around this venerable old barn. I can't believe in all the years of traveling to games I/we never made it to one here. I must have been a great atmosphere, with sounds bouncing off of that high arched ceiling. A lot of AHL history was made within these walls, and it's good to see they still find use for this place. With one or two college teams still playing here, I'm hoping we can catch a game here at some point.
2019 Update: We were, in fact, able to finally catch a game here. Mike's 'new' job as Director of Hockey Operations for King's College gave us an opportunity to finally see a game in this classic barn!
