Rink Rats (NR)

synopsis

In 1977, three investors opened a street hockey rink in western Berks County, PA. The rink operated for thirty years, and thousands of players ran and made ten-bell saves on its surface. The rink closed in 2005. Thirty-two former players, managers, and owners provide the history, stories, and reflections that show how one small facility proved to be monumental in the hearts and minds of a great many people.
