“It’s nice to have it so you can go skating one in a while and practice,” said Max, an L.A. Kings fan who is using his unlimited ice time to work on his shot.
The rink – from nets to netting, boards and plexiglass — was salvaged and destined for the scrapyard, including even old puck boards from Prospera Place.
