Rink: Stories from an Oregon Ice Arena

By F Michael Sheehan

Book Overview

They came from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Wing Lake, Michigan, Norwood, Massachusetts, Minnesota's Iron Range, and places with long winter ice. These figure skaters, hockey players, and speed skaters had arrived in Oregon, willing to trade their passions for the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. With stories like the speed skater who escaped from the Red Army, and the cancer patient who played his last hockey game while hooked up to an oxygen tank, Rink tells the consequential tale of how Lane County built an ice arena and how it became so meaningful for thousands of its citizens.
