| Riverside Ice Town, SCAHA's eastern outpost, is home to the Inland Valley Wild, formerly the Desert Coyotes, formerly the Riverside Jets (or perhaps the Jets became the Senators or perhaps the Stars - it's all very confusing and very incestuous). Ice Town has two sheets, a lot of medium sized locker rooms most of which are upstairs, an excellent snack bar and a well stocked pro-shop. There are several video game machines and the rink vending machines always seems to be well stocked up on the CMM.com snack favorite, Peanuttles. The rink television is kind of high-up and small and the reception can sometimes be sketchy. The raised grandstand seating on the main rink is on the same side as the glassed-in benches, thus viewing is obstructed. The best seat in the house is on a ledge they don't want you to sit on - it's located in the far corner next to the visitor's bench. There exists a good pizza parlour in an adjacent building and for the travel-weary, a decent Best Western motel next door. For ultimate in vehicle safety, park down the parking lot away from the rink - you see, the local cops moved in next door. |
