Don't you just love how low the side glass in the old arenas were??!! You totally could have clothes-lined someone skating by from the crowd! Remember how you had to really pay attention so you wouldn't get smoked by a puck??

My pleasure! I still have about 10-20 more to scan to share. I will post some as photos so people will know that new images have been added. I love this one with a potential scrap brewing between the Jets and the Indianapolis Racers!!

These were classics! I still can't get over how very low the side glass was! I remember it being low when I was young but not THAT low!

I recall seeing pictures where one of the WHA rinks had clear glass all the way to ice level.

I think the home of the Minnesota Fighting Saints had clear boards! Wild! You could see the players in the bench, skates and all!

Makes me wish I wasn't a young buck lol I was barly around long enough to witness the original Jets since I was born in 90. Oh well still have the heart of a Jets fan I'm sure that's all that matters.
