I saw a Junior mens game here in November 2010, I have been here once before, on a previous trip, but also only for a Junior match.

This appears to be the way in, as if through the main entrance, which was shut for the junior game, where we got in through a side entrance.

As if we had entered this way, we are directly above the ice, behind the goal.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AP6plBfI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/XRMSj368wPI/s400/DSCF4352.jpg)
We are going to turn left, going round the rink clockwise.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AR8KV2sI/AAAAAAAAB2U/EHDoSuL3-yk/s400/DSCF4353.jpg)
In this top corner there's some sort of (closed) refreshment area.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AVyUAahI/AAAAAAAAB2c/iuTAAzijeRE/s400/DSCF4355.jpg)
Rows of seating down the side.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AXwT-sZI/AAAAAAAAB2g/mFk1aIsy9Eg/s400/DSCF4356.jpg)
Looking back to the end where we started.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AaziWo5I/AAAAAAAAB2k/VcWJW4p9ICc/s400/DSCF4357.jpg)
Down the ice, from the back of the seats.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AcpVobrI/AAAAAAAAB2o/diVt93ram5M/s400/DSCF4358.jpg)
Moving along, a better view of the entrance end.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AeqJ_unI/AAAAAAAAB2s/8GfHwvC2Sio/s400/DSCF4359.jpg)
Above the seating is a disused balcony area, hence the poles holding it up.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Aivl5iNI/AAAAAAAAB20/xeNDvXXqaO8/s400/DSCF4361.jpg)
Continuing alone, note the ladder ahead.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AlJdndZI/AAAAAAAAB24/FrrvoDk3rGA/s400/DSCF4362.jpg)
In the 'void' at the front of the seats there is this strange collection of penguins. Anyone want to guess what they are for?
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BTisYkGI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/UG1962BcgPk/s400/DSCF4384.jpg)
At the front of the seating are the penalty boxes.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6An2pCptI/AAAAAAAAB28/fiQRJCi2HQs/s400/DSCF4363.jpg)
Various flags hang above the ice, from the roof.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Ayz2BL8I/AAAAAAAAB3U/-0beVgsCrGs/s400/DSCF4369.jpg)
Here we are at the steps, which lead up to the balcony.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Ap1qaQ9I/AAAAAAAAB3A/TqSM3a4SQfM/s400/DSCF4364.jpg)
An out of bounds area.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AsIJo-tI/AAAAAAAAB3E/jgZTbFqOPr8/s400/DSCF4365.jpg)
But I had a peek, as the Zamboni was cleaning the ice.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6At1VU3pI/AAAAAAAAB3I/MaUkOAS90q8/s400/DSCF4366.jpg)
Gotta get a snap of the old Zamboni. It wouldn't be an hockey rink without one!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AgYzrhrI/AAAAAAAAB2w/wsMC8hwpqxk/s400/DSCF4360.jpg)
Heading to the area behind the far goal, there is terracing at this end.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AvmplfnI/AAAAAAAAB3M/XbWOz2MbpXg/s400/DSCF4367.jpg)
Before we get there we see the shiny, wet, pristine ice.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6AxCjgmfI/AAAAAAAAB3Q/wGqksYhvQEc/s400/DSCF4368.jpg)
A full length shot of the seated side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6A4ffyOyI/AAAAAAAAB3g/jqzsKfsOa9U/s400/DSCF4371.jpg)
Now we're behind the goal.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6A1t35B9I/AAAAAAAAB3c/OtHMcZL_pIk/s400/DSCF4370.jpg)
Directly down the centre of the ice.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6A7ZmNkbI/AAAAAAAAB3k/LRTZHn39NAk/s400/DSCF4372.jpg)
Along the far side, opposite the seats, is more terracing.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6A9o_9c6I/AAAAAAAAB3o/wtcqR72-9UE/s400/DSCF4373.jpg)
The team benches are at the front.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6A_z9yFPI/AAAAAAAAB3s/c2C0cCzU7to/s400/DSCF4374.jpg)
Opposite the seats.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BB7U-AJI/AAAAAAAAB3w/wd-iVeNWj0s/s400/DSCF4375.jpg)
Moving alone, we're heading back to the entrance.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BDvTBxtI/AAAAAAAAB30/uvWh1WLu2_E/s400/DSCF4376.jpg)
Now at the entrance end, but down at ice level.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BF7Mwr1I/AAAAAAAAB34/ArhMYnA5u-Y/s400/DSCF4377.jpg)
Not a proper standing area down here.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BIAJi6JI/AAAAAAAAB4A/gljU-S069FY/s400/DSCF4378.jpg)
There is a refreshment point, down in the public skating locker room area.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BKuDWX3I/AAAAAAAAB4E/K6P96281uSo/s400/DSCF4379.jpg)
Past this in the corner, is a small Crocodiles room, selling teas & coffees, with some club memorabilia hanging up.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BR8_HuJI/AAAAAAAAB4U/LD-k_O-pRiU/s400/DSCF4383.jpg)
On the wall, by the entrance where I came in, which was in this corner of the rink, is a club noticeboard.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BOYy1eSI/AAAAAAAAB4M/OvFNysCo2Kg/s400/DSCF4381.jpg)
As well as one for a club called Hamburg Huskies, who presumably use the same venue.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6BP6VjbiI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/dyZHo9JMijc/s400/DSCF4382.jpg)
To finish, a couple of photos from the game.
