Talk:Brooklyn Ice Palace

Any more pictures?
It would be nice if the article had additional pictures to show the interior or exterior. There doesn't seem to be much in the public domain. Dbroer (talk) 14:15, 28 January 2022 (UTC)


 * In my youth I spent a lot of time at the Brooklyn Ice Palace: skating during public skating sessions, playing high school hockey and working as an employee. I was working in the checkroom on December 7, 1941 when I learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not long after that I went to work for Art June who ran the skate shop. I did that for a couple of years. I mention this as evidence of my having spent considerable time there. At no time during that period, did I ever see or hear about the Brooklyn Crescents practicing there. The only amateur team that did was the St.Nicholas Club.


 * Another error in the article is that the Crescents were not a professional team; they could not have been: EAHL stood for Eastern Amateur Hockey League. As I remember, during the 1930s and into the early 1940s that league was comprised of the New York Rovers, the Hershey Bears, the Atlantic City Sea Gulls, the Pittsburg Yellow Jackets. Rover games were played in the old Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoons. I know because our family almost never never missed a game over several years in the '30s

 * BTW, Thanks for sharing your memories! My Grandparents operated the Skaters Inn at the Palace in the late 30s and 40s. My Dad spent a lot of time there as well...you might have run into him.  Dbroer (talk) 02:35, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
