Concerning why Yale's Ingalls Rink is called "The Yale Whale"... I've been to Ingalls rink quite a few times, as I played there when I was playing AHAUS hockey, at about the age of ten or so. I also come from North Haven, which is only minutes away from Yale in New Haven. Now, I don't know of any story behind the rink, but I believe that it is called the Yale Whale because the roof design makes the rink, from the outside, look like a huge whale. Well, actually, like one whale with two "tails". Sort of a symmetric whale, I guess. Can someone back me up on this? Or am I totally wrong? --- Kenny Zalewski Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 65 13th Street, 1st floor, Troy, NY, 12180 [log in to unmask] | [log in to unmask] | [log in to unmask]
