Reply to comment by CorrectFall6257 in I would say "Only in Vermont" a Shortage of Zamboni Drivers, Rink Managers Are Skating on Thin Ice by lighthouse0

Misread the original comment, thought they were saying spartan folded.. phew. Miss playing at Mandingo. Was awesome until the roof leaked at center ice. Brought back a lot of memories of collecting pucks for free Swedish fish, and ripping pucks in the far right corner of the rink.

That's an awesome memory about the Swedish fish! I missed the leaky roof. Great memories there though. I remember doing a 24 hour skate a thon!

24 hour skate a thon? Sounds awesome. Wish I was around for that. When did they do that?

That’s awesome. Wish they still did that. Would be a great fundraiser to raise money for rink operations/ paying Zamboni drivers.

That's a great idea! I remember getting 10 minute breaks and they set up sleeping cots in the changing rooms. You got a small window to rest and there were prizes. It was packed. Now I gotta find that picture!
