The stark-but-sturdy rink, shown here ca. 1961, would become a familiar sight for generations of hockey players and skaters, both from the University and the community at large. It remained in service until 2002. G. Harris SDU Photographic Collection (UPEI Archives Acc #: 2013-250), Image 43-0735.
Festivities at the opening of the new rink in January 1959 included a costume skate, an event which became something of an annual tradition thereafter. G. Harris SDU Photographic Collection (UPEI Archives Acc #: 2013-250), Image 06-7613.
