I'd love to play..

I've played at the dome and the ice not what I would have expected , it was kinda "soft" for lack of a better word. The ice seemed really small, like players were on top of you way faster then normal, I think it was because the building was so big around you. The boards are crazy bouncy though, like you shoot a puck at them and it seems to come back at you just as fast.. I wish they would turn on all the big lights at the dome, but for ice rentals they turn on some flood lights around the second level they don't have on during games, so it doesn't feel like it does when you are actually at a flames game.

Coral has kind of a big league feel to it and hella cheaper then the dome. The Ice is pretty terrible, and its hot and quiet. Imagin putting on all your equipment and playing in your living room.. It's a neat place to play cause you know all the greats who played on that ice, and changed in the dressing rooms.

Max bell is a good place to play. So is Father David Bauer..
