Trip Down Memory Lane


It was a trip down memory lane during the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks game today. When Pierre McGuire was talking about Anaheim Ducks defenceman Sheldon Brookbank, Pierre remarked that Brookbank played with the SJHL's Humboldt Broncos, play by play man Chris Cuthbert that recalled his days as the voice of the Yorkton Terriers from 1979.

Cuthbert remarked that Humboldt had quite the old arena, but their newer arena was very nice. That old arena Cuthbert was talking about the was the Leo Parker arena. It's been over 15 years since that rink was torn down, but I still have plenty of great memories of the old arena. It was the first place where I played hockey, and the majority of younger hockey was played in the old arena.

Since the arena was torn down, the Leo Parker became a parking lot for the High School. And now the site has recently became a new apartment building.

It was a nice trip down memory hearing about the old Leo Parker rink.
