Changes...

2006-04-03 After noticing that I was a ‘little’ behind in posting I did some catch up.  Names after each are who provided information.

  • Deleted Washington Park rink. – Susan Smiley reported.
  • Fixed exit number for Airport Rink – Tom Monfre Sr. reported.
  • Renamed RMU Island Sports Center and updated the web site.  – Mark Thomas reported this one.
  • Added Wesbanco Arena in Wheeling. - Darryl Crews
  • Corrected Wheeling Park phone number - Dave Holloway
  • Deleted Somerset Rink - Alice Single
  • Corrected the spelling of the municipality adjacent to Plum.  – Tom Victoria

2003-10-11 Posted a picture of the new Valley Sports Complex and added it to my table since someone has tried to search for it already.  I drive by it about once a week on the way home and it isn't open yet but their web site says they are taking applications.

 

2003-03-08 Discovered that the netmind.com search engine has been discontinued.  Another victim of the post 9/11/2001 economy.  Removed from the web site.

 

2003-02-06 continued – Since the Penquins were losing the game I cranked up the laptop and started fixing the exit numbers using the PA exit numbering cross-reference.  I hope I a) got them all, and b) got them all right.  I know there will be further exit number changes in the Cranberry area when the interchange work is completed but this should be good for the rest of the rinks for some time. 

See www.pahighways.com/exits for the PDF file.

Dear Roger:

Could you please update your site with our correct web address?  The correct URL is www.iceoplexatsouthpointe.com 

Sincerely,

Since I knew that was one of the sites that is off an Interstate exit I found the PA exit renumbering site and downloaded the cross-reference table.  I posted the update to show exit 48 instead of 10A and included a link to the PA site until I get “around to it”.  Maybe when I get my taxes done I can work on this.

Changed the reference email account to my ACM relay account so I’ll see the messages more ‘timely’.

  • 2002-03-13 Notes:  I'm getting nastygrams from geocities saying they are going to take away FTP access to the free web sites.  I don't want to pay for this and I don't want to fiddle with their gui interface so updates will really slow down after April 1st.
  • 2002-03-13 Added pictures from Mary Swim [[email protected]]

Well, it took me long enough, but here are some pictures for you. After I looked at them again I didn't like all the ones I had, so I tried again. Here are the results. If you need them in a different format, dpi, compression, etc., let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Included are rinks in Morgantown WV, Wheeling WV, Washington PA, PPG Place PA.

The Washington one isn't very good, but I think the rink there is probably dead anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter so much. You can use it or not, as you choose. Which is certainly the case with all the others as well. If you need to crop them further, that's ok too. And you can rename the files to suit your naming system.

Which I suppose leads to: You have my permission to use these photos on your web page in any manner you see fit. You can list a credit for them or not.

I maintain a rink page which has a public skate/figure skate focus and includes some of the rinks you list, as well as some you don't. If you'd like to provide a link to it from your page the address is

http://www.wvnet.edu/~mswim/iceskate.html

Anyhow, thanks, hope the pictures are useful to you.

renamed the pictures to...
rinkpics\r_mgtn_crop.jpg is Morgantown rink
rinkpics\r_ppg_crop.jpg is PPG Place rink
rinkpics\r_wash_crop.jpg is Washington, PA rink
rinkpics\r_whlg_crop.jpg is Wheeling, WV rink

(Thank you Mary!)

  • 2002-02-10 Added picture provided by Planet Ice which includes their logo.
  • 2002-02-08 Added PPG Place and corrected the Rostraver area code.  Thanks to [email protected] for the heads up on that.  Changed my e-mail address to [email protected] because email.com got greedy and want me to pay them to forward mail from that account to somewhere else.  Boo Hiss.   Not gonna happen.  I'll try to continue to check that account weekly or so.
  • 2001-10-08 Deleted "easy print" version due to excess page transfer shutdowns of the site.
  • 2001-07-22 Added map link to Johnstown Planet Ice page.  Cancelled the Telerama account.  Anyone still linking there will be lost.
  • 2001-01-29 Fixed landmark on Golden Mile rink directions. Thanks to [email protected].
  • 2001-01-24 Got the pictures back from the Castle Shannon rink. Added the entry.
  • 2000-11-22 When I checked the site logs I found several requests about Altoona. It seems WPHOA has a contract to provide officials for some games there. Initial research turns up a new site at www.galacticice.net. For now that will have to do the trick.
  • 2000-07-11 I got the picture CDR's from the Erie trip and added them. I also stumbled across a page that "used" my web site as a source for information for their site. They even used my pictures! I find it in somewhat poor taste to copy as much of the site as they did withoutgiving credit but if they take the time to register with more search engines it willput the information in front of more people!

    I also was notified of another page that links to mine. These links are documented in a separate links page.
    I also added the ALL PICTURES links page.
  • 2000-07-07 I still haven't developed those pictures from the Erie trip. I cleaned up the start page and broke out the PDF link on a new page "easyprint.htm" to remove clutter. I also added a change notification link at the bottom in case someone wants to get an e-mail telling them when I make a change. I use this change service for a number of sites for work and have been pleased with it. When I post the Erie pictures I intend to add a link to all the pictures too.
  • 2000-06-04 Drove to Erie to check those directions. They are mostly correct. I did make a couple of corrections and clarifications. I also added a note about where Wexford is because I had been asked that. It is interesting to read the summary logs of the searches people do against the site. There are a number of people who search for skating or hockey famous names. Sorry folks.  None of that here. Discovered that the Mellon Arena file had been clobbered. Rebuilt and updated it. Also rebuilt the PDF file for printing purposes. The file is now 3 MB.
  • 2000-04-27 Put a "moved.htm" file in place of all Telerama site files so anything that links inside the old site will get re-directed to the root of this site.
  • 2000-03-01 Posted the change log.
  • 2000-02-17 Tested some more and made this the primary site by creating autolinks from the Telerama site. Sent out move notices to registered link sites.
  • 2000-02-09 Created a web site at www.geocities.com/morganrlm

·          

    • copied files from www.telerama.com/~morganrl/Hockey/ to theweb
    • replaced all the .GIF files with .JPG files because none of them worked.
