Hello Post2Post! So I grew up in the Worcester area and its pronounced like “wister “ . Just a couple years ago, they were called the sharks and they were the AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks. Before that from 1994-2005, the building housed a team called the “IceCats” and were the affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, The Senators and the NY Islanders. They were extremely popular during this time. Unfortunately with each change in team, they have lost support which explains the curtains covering the seats they can’t fill. Thank you for the great content, keep up the great work guys!!

Thanks for paying attention to the lower leagues! It's really nice when people mention us ECHL's fans' teams. Most people only say, "the little club" or something like that. Contrary to popular belief, we are not just the Bruins' old forgotten farm.

Awesome to see so much love for the Admirals and the Norfolk Scope my home town arena. And if you think that the scope looks like a space ship, you should look at the Hampton Colosseum.

I like how the goal posts in some of the ECHL arenas are blue, I know it's a minor thing but I think it's cool.

Norfolk Scope is amazing and I love it been going since I lived there around Norfolk

The utah grizzly (maverick center) has been built for a couple of years

Thank you so much for the intro! My Hair doe! BRUH! Love you guys! KEEP it up!

I'm glad yall like the Norfolk Scope Arena! A lot of history with the Norfolk Admirals. That 2012 team won 28 games straight in one season. Most ever by a North American hockey team. They swept the conference and Calder Cup finals as well. Over half the team went on to play in the NHL. As well as Jon Cooper the Lightning's head coach. Unfortunately the Ducks bought the team and moved them to San Diego. Now we're stuck with an ECHL team that has big management issues.

The Amway is so big because the NBA Team Orlando Magic play there. Love the vids btw (I have been to amway)

7:15 I was at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne almost 2 years ago for a Fort Wayne Mad Ants basketball game. It’s incredibly big and nice inside the arena.

I played hockey as a teenager on both sheets of ice (mostly Scope). To me, Hampton had very good ice. Just seemed faster. I miss seeing both buildings. Very nice to this day. Haven't been back in Virginia since the mid 70s when both buildings were pretty new. It was great back then with the AHL Wings at Scope and SHL Gulls at Hampton. Both teams fun to watch.

The Norfolk Scope arena is a classic. It looks like an arena that should have a wood paneled ceiling.

RJ Pugs / I recall the Virginia Red Wings in the early 1970s.

Marc Methot was very right when he said you know there’s a goal when the Admirals score. You literally can’t hear yourself screaming and clapping and everyone gets into the mood and starts the hey you suck chants. We love our team. I remember playing on that ice one and meeting so many players so many times that are now in the NHL, like Gibson, Freddy Andersen, Maroon, Wagner, Killorn, etc. And you know we were ecstatic after the 2012 Calder Cup championship, 8 straight wins, sweeping the Ice Caps then Marlies in the Conference Final and Final, which was after their historic season in which they had a 28 game winning streak mid-to-late season. That was when they were AHL. Be careful if you have a hockey stick in your hands when one of the mascots, Hat Trick, is around because he’ll try to steal it. The other mascot, Salty, won’t steal it. Great vid and Let’s go Pens, Baby Pens, and Norfolk Admirals!

There’s a big lcd screen inside of the intrust bank arena (Wichita Thunder) which you can see from a highway. And it is a very nice place to watch a game from.

The Infinite Energy Arena is an absolutely beautiful building inside and out. I've been to 2 Gladiators games, and my group of about 20 was half of the crowd at both.

The reason the Toledo Walleye Don’t have a score clock is because it is a multipurpose arena but for example they do Monster jam and the monster trucks would hit the clock. But on the other side there is a huge screen.

Back in the 90's and early 2000's the Mallards had used a lot more of the arena. it was always a fun place to watch games and it was definitely one of the biggest arenas in the UHL at that time.

I’ve been to Santander Arena many times over the years ever since it was the Sovereign Center. It’s amazing. The atmosphere during Royals games is intense.

The arena outside of the komets looks like the tunnel Thor ran threw in the first movie

I grew up going to the norfolk admirals games when they were in the ahl , loved that rink

The idaho steelheads area is in downtown Boise Idaho and the arena itself is part of the famous grove hotel. The rink itself is actually below ground level.

It's funny you made the connection between the Colorado Eagles' stadium looking like a brewery because the Budweiser brewery is also in Northern Colorado and is fairly close by. Another thing about their arena is that the ice is the best ice I've ever skated on by far.

The one at 23:08 is Worcester! You pronounce it "Wuh-ster"! That's where the now San Jose Barracuda played when they were the Worcester Sharks, until they moved. The Sharks played in Worcester from 2006-2015. Now the Railers play there. I never went to a Sharks game at the DCU Center but I'm hoping to see the Railers play there in the future. I saw Holy Cross play there (the College of Holy Cross), who usually play at the arena on their campus, but played at the DCU Center one night so that's the first and only time I've been there. I live not too far away so it's nice having a professional hockey team back in the city!

Fun fact, the roof is like that form the expansion in the late 90's. So the old roof was originally where the "peaks"in the ends are. Went from about 6500 to 10480.

Some more info on the Huntington Center, where the Walleye play: Its true, there’s no score clock! On the other side of the rink that you can’t see in the picture there’s a huge screen for replays and other things. The goal horn is incredibly unique! On the screen side, they’ve mounted a refurbished freighter horn off the S.S. Willis B. Boyer, and it is REALLY loud! Lastly, it’s always packed (the center is also used for events and concerts) and it’s the best place to watch a game!

The AHL has a way Fing with people unessarly taking teams away .

The rabbits arena has a pretty big parking area in the back, but there is limited space bc it's in the downtown area, so there are parking garages and other lots to park in

I've played pee wee games at the Allen Event Center. I also went to Allen Americans games before they were in the ECHL.

I've played at the wings arena a few times. It's not even just an arena. There are like three rinks and there's a rink just for curling too. There's a lot in there but it's quite old. You can tell its old because the locker rooms are tiny and the walls and ceiling look really old. That place could use a revamp.

The first one looked like ( on the outside ) where I would play my Bantam hockey games

The arena that the Orlando Solar Bears play at is the home of the NBA's Orlando Magic. That's why there its a three bowl configuration (lower, mid, upper). 20,000 seat arena in the Amway Center.

US Bank Arena looks a lot like the old Spectrum in Philly. Has the same sentimental style.

I live 15 minutes from where the Gladiators play, awesome venue that host both hockey and indoor lacrosse.

The extra area next to the Everblades arena in Estero Florida is not a convention center it is two additional sheets of ice.

17:25 - This photo was taken before they upgraded the jumbotron in 2016. There's also seating along the glass and directly below the scoreboard on that flat side.

Thank god you guys liked the Huntington center I’m literally there every week for a game

Awesome vid

The Allen Event Centre looks like the little brother of the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg.

15:08 fun fact I attended the game were Brittaine Cecil died from a stray puck, which was the event that issued the placement of nets on every ice rink in North America and Europe

As someone in Oklahoma we are so proud of the BOK center. The arena looks like it's from the future inside and out. The Oilers get a lot of local supoort which is great for that area. I drive an hour and a half to watch the games

David Fraser I had seasons tickets the year we won the Calder cup. It was an amazing time, it’s just our management has made some boneheaded decisions, and I haven’t had seasons tickets for a few years a now.

Neil the reason the Solar Bears Arena is so large is because they share that Arena the Amway Center with the Orlando Magic of the NBA so it’s supposed to hold large crowds for basketball not hockey and that’s also why the upper deck was curtained off

The Orlando Solar Bears Arena ( Amway Center ) is so big because the Orlando Magic ( NBA Team ) plays in that arena. So that Arena can hold almost 19,000 when the 300 Level is not curtained off.

10:56 fyi that is a VERY old picture of the arena. Everything inside has been updated and upgraded, seats, scoreboard and everything. This picture was not taken during an Icemen game, also. Im an season ticket holder to the Icemen.

They added huge scoreboards for the kc Mavericks arena

You called the Everblades the Everglades and the parking lot is huge and it has two more sheets in the smaller building next door.

The Amway Center (or SCAMway as we call it here in Central Florida) is also the home of the Orlando Magic. FUN FACT!

There are 4 rinks in the Powerade centre in Brampton

Reading Royals are very neat Rink Arenas! You should do one another on the AHL Rinks Arenas.

Cool video guys. And for the last team, the Railers, the city is pronounced "woostah" use the New England accent, and im not kidding lol

as a Kalamazoo wings fan ur welcome for the score clock

The Huntington Center in Toledo is an awesome venue. The fanbase is awesome too the playoff games this year have all been sellouts even regular season games are packed most nights. I don’t know about a lot of other fanbases for the ECHL but from what I’ve seen this year other teams don’t fill the arena like Toledo does. The only downside to the Huntington Center is the seats are cramped together so if you have long legs or have wider hips the seats are very uncomfortable.

The Komets arena is called the memorial colosseum and it is also a convention center, that was the three balls

As someone who lives 20 minutes from the Ft. Wayne Komets arena (Allen County War Memorial Coliseum to be precise), I very much have a problem with calling my team’s stadium what you did.

The Komets now have 4 small screens one placed in each corner of the coliseum, with a new scoreboard as of a couple of years ago. It’s really nice now.
