Sumpter Lore
At 5:00 AM every morning, five and six days a week, for a year, I drove this puppy. That was back when Tonya Harding skated as a six or seven year old. I prepped the ice for her workouts, when she was a little snotty nosed kid. But more important---much more important---I worked on the ice for the Rusty Blades league. These old timers were a boot-sized kick in the pants to watch them hustle up and down the sheet.
It takes a village of Rink Rats to make it all happen. I was Rink Rat at the Anchorage Sports Arena from 1972-1975. Good times, super cool times.
