Skating rink. To the diehards who first got their skating legs

to the elements, and when Caitlin Cahow was just getting her hockey
career started, the place was not much more than wooden boards and

really windy and wintery days, snow would blow in through the
openings and form drifts in the corners of the rink.
To Cahow, it was like skating in heaven.
