Random information on the term “Rink”:
An ice rink (or ice skating rink) is a frozen body of water and/or hardened chemicals where people can ice skate or play winter sports. Besides recreational ice skating, some of its uses include ice hockey, bandy, rink bandy, ringette, broomball, speed skating, figure skating, ice stock sport and curling as well as exhibitions, contests and ice shows. There are two types of rinks in prevalent use today: natural, where freezing occurs from cold ambient temperatures, and artificial (or mechanically frozen), where a coolant produces cold temperatures in the surface below the water, causing the water to freeze. There are also synthetic ice rinks where skating surfaces are made out of plastics.
Rink, a Scottish word meaning ‘course’, was used as the name of a place where curling was played. The name has been retained for the construction of ice areas for other sports and uses.[1]
Early attempts at the construction of artificial ice rinks were first made in the ‘rink mania’ of 1841–44. As the technology for the maintenance of natural ice did not exist, these early rinks used a substitute consisting of a mixture of hog’s lard and various salts. An item in the 8 May 1844 issue of Eliakim Littell’s Living Age headed “The Glaciarium” reported that “This establishment, which has been removed to Grafton street East’ Tottenham Court Road, was opened on Monday afternoon. The area of artificial ice is extremely convenient for such as may be desirous of engaging in the graceful and manly pastime of skating”.[citation needed]
