American Hockey League Arenas

[@BroadwayJoe99]

If you look carefully, a few of the arenas had a "3ICE" logo painted into the center circle of the ice. After a query of Google, 3ICE is a touring hockey league, comprised of six squads of players coached by former NHL players, and they play under a modified ruleset that closely resembles the NHL's overtime rules, with each team consisting of three skaters (hence the 3 in 3ICE) and a goalie. I guess it's like Ice Hockey's answer to basketball's BIG3 or Rugby Sevens.

[@musyarofah1]

so it's basically BIG3 but hockey

[@markskojec863]

I took my pre-teen kids to 3ICE at Hershey this past summer; it was really well run. I’d recommend it to hockey fans

There was something similar to this great concept in Great Britain a few years back. It involved all the teams in the Elite League at the time (there were only 8 teams back then), and it was a straight knockout format played out in one day. Unfortunately, the organisers saw fit to call it "Hoctoberfest".

[@coryshannon3815]

Hockey's version of BIG3? Sounds like it'd be pretty fun, and probably get better turnout than BIG3 just because hockey fans tend to be more passionate than basketball fans(and I'm a person that likes basketball more than hockey).

The XL Center in Hartford was originally used by the New England Whalers of the now-defunct World Hockey Association (WHA). They were renamed the Hartford Whalers when they were accepted into the NHL in 1979. They would remain there until their relocation to Carolina in 1997.

Hey I never thought I'd see an arena from Belleville Ontario on your channel! Nice. I lived North of town for a decade. It used to be called the Yardmen Arena because Belleville was an important rail junction and still has a lot of train and trucking transport industry. The name Yardmen was paying respect to the railway workers. It was the home of the junior hockey team the Belleville Bulls who were located there from about 1979 until 2016 or so. With the arena without a tennant the Ottawa Senators moved their farm team there after a refurbishment of the arena. The city of Ottawa is about 3 hours drive down the highway (what you would call a motorway), closer to 2 if you really drive fast. So it was a good place geographically for them to put their team. Besides the main arena there are 2 other rinks, an indoor track, pool and gym. Most people from that area have used those facilities at some point. Quebexicans as you call them (lol) are called Quebecois (Kwe-beck-waz). I'm not from there but have been and I think Barre from Wilkes-Barre is pronounced Berry. Anybody from Pennsylvania can correct me if I'm wrong. I really like the style of the Lehigh Valley team arena, really unique cool design, works for me. edit: Plural Moose are still called Moose. Coachella is pronounced "Koh-chella" the "a" is silent like in the word coach.

[@JBishop25]

Another awesome vid! One thing…It is is pronounced ad-uh-RON-dak. The emphasis is on the third syllable.

The XL Center was formerly the Hartford Civic Center, home to the New England Whalers of the NHL rival World Hockey Association starting in 1974, after spending two seasons in Boston. After the roof collapsed in a snowstorm in January 1978 just hours after a college basketball game, the Whalers temporarily relocated to Springfield, Massachusetts while the Civic Center roof was replaced and the arena expanded from 10,500 seats to 15,000. The NE Whalers became the Hartford Whalers when the WHA merged with the NHL for the 1979-80 season, and the Civic Center reopened in early 1980.

As someone who has spent probably a little too much time at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse over the last couple decades, I gotta say it's quite the environment. The swords on the corners of the Humongotron, as you call it, fold out and shoot columns of fire during the Monsters intro. It's absolutely insane during Monsters playoff runs, especially considering that they take the tarps off the upper bowl and pack almost 19,000 people in there. Also, if you're planning a trip, Fridays are dollar dog and beer night.

19:14 The Gulls name has been used a few different times by teams in a number of leagues that have previously used the building. Must be a popular name in the area.

Fun fact: Upstate Medical Arena was one of the filming sites of the original Slapshot movie from 1977. Syracuse has had several pro hockey teams but was largely considered a hockey "graveyard" until the Crunch came around. Also, the whole "Syracuse Crunch" thing is more than likely a nod to Nestle, which had a factory near Syracuse in the 1990s. Crunch was one of five names in a poll for the team's name back in 1994. Also, it's funny how you mentioned the Royals and Clippers when you talked about Rochester and San Diego, yet failed to mention the Syracuse Nationals (now Philadelphia 76ers) while talking about Syracuse.

It's where I saw my first Bears games when I was anywhere from four to seven years old (1998-2002), it's where Wilt Chamberlain had his legendary 100-point game and it's where, when I worked at Hersheypark during summer in between college semesters, I could sit and eat my lunch in one of the seats lol.

The Reign still do well as far as attendance is concerned though.

You didn’t mention how old Hershey Bears rink is it is so old it’s been around since like DHL started believe it or not what the DHL I said AHL yeah

[@ry-flix]

I really enjoy watching these, how do you get the drone like movement in google earth?

[@bluebear1985]

Do you plan on doing the ones for the ECHL as well? That league is one step below the AHL. In the league's present form, it looks like all but four NHL teams have affiliates there.

Why are they flat on one side, like the seating usually goes around three sides and then the last one doesn't have seats, is bc of concerts? Like every other stadium goes all away around

As the new year approaches (and a new baseball season), how about the MLB Spring Training stadiums (Cactus & Grapefruit Leagues)?

Madison Square Garden was modeled after the Adirondack Bank Center also known by the locals as 'The AUD'. Scenes for the film 'Slap Shot' was also shot there.

Syracuse Onondaga County War Memorial is the oldest building In professional hockey. At one time the only older buildings were the Hershey Arena, now gone, and Montreal.

I enjoy watching these type of video’s. I live in London,Ontario,Canada which is in-between Toronto & Detroit. We have the very popular “OHL” (Ontario Hockey League) which is for 16-20yr olds & London has the biggest “OHL” arena & i believe the biggest arena in all of junior hockey if i’m not mistaken but if not i’d say at least in the top 3 at least in which London’s arena (Budweiser Arena) holds a little over 10,000 people & the team is called the “London Knights” which is owned by the “Hunter Brothers” (Dale & Mark Hunter) & there is another “Hunter” brother (Tim Hunter) but he has nothing to do with the “London Knights” as far as i’m aware. The “Hunter Brothers” purchased the “Knights” in the late 90’s or early 2000’s & had a new arena built which was built right downtown London & is an absolutely awesome arena & their home games are every Friday evening & sometimes on Sunday’s & home games are always sold out & if not sold out then it’s pretty darn close & it’s been that way ever since that arena was built & the Knights have won two “Memorial Cups” & a couple of “OHL” league championships under the head coaching of part owner Dale Hunter who has been head coach ever since that arena was built but he didn’t coach for one season because he was coach of the Washington Capitals & Mark Hunter took over head coaching duties for a season. Anyways it would be cool if you did a video on “OHL” arenas because there are some buties such as London as i stated & Windsor now has a beautiful arena that holds around 6,500 people & a handful of other nice “OHL” arenas.

Springfield is the Simpsons

[@TheWhitePine5]

The tier system in hockey is kind of a mishmash of leagues, but there are some junior leagues in Canada that have some cool mid size arenas such as the OHL, WHL, QMJHL, and people were talking about the ECHL so I'm assuming that that might be one of them too.

[@zdoggyx]

Can you please do echl arenas love the content

Any chance you could do Major League Rugby (MLR)?
