IceSheffield

iceSheffield is an ice arena in the Lower Don Valley, Sheffield, England. It was completed in May 2003 at a cost of £15 million. It consists of two Olympic-size ice rinks with seating for 1,500 people in pad 1 and 125 in pad 2. It is now home to most ice hockey teams in Sheffield with the exception being the Sheffield Steelers, who are still based at nearby Sheffield Arena, though the venue has hosted a number of Steelers games in recent seasons.

gollark: Anyway, I have various "books" like some of qntm/Sam Hughes' work, Unsong, Ender's Game, one of the Expanse ones, that sort of thing.
gollark: People would complain that I'm "literally doing piracy" and "might as well buy a large boat and attack ships at sea".
gollark: There would be obvious intellectual property issues if I let random people have access to my stuff.
