Rutgers SID Letter Documenting Monte Carlo Rink in Asbury Park, NJ.

Frank Dimarco found a photo of a 1951 letter from Bill Mackenzie at Rutgers Sports Information documenting the existence of a seasonal ice rink at the Monte Carlo Pool in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Run by Frank Traverso before he ran BMIA, We practised there for years too.

Tom Granelli said, “Have you done research on the West New York rink I believe it was called a Ice Pavilion? About 150 x 76 if I remember.

This appears to be a place known as Hillman’s Golfland, see photo montage from 1954 on Pinterest.

Chuck Podgurski said, “… ever hear of “Hillman’s”, an outdoor facility in then East Paterson? I believe they also had a large driving range on premise.”.

Joe Walker pointed out that this arena existed and pointed us to a web page that has a great deal of information about it.

The list is in alphabetical order, and any information we have about the arena is listed below its name:

Here is a list of arenas that we are aware of in Northern and Central New Jersey that are not currently in the RinkAtlas directory because we have not completed research on them. These are buildings that used to be hockey arenas and are used for a different purpose, or buildings that were demolished and other buildings were built in their places. We have a project to document all of the closed arenas we can find. Our goal at RinkAtlas is to document all of the places where ice hockey is being and has been played throughout North America. RinkAtlas is doing research into closed arenas in Northern and Central New Jersey.
