Venetian's Finest came from Lindy's nicest place to play hockey (which says a lot about how the town loves its hockey players).  Anyway, this 200x80 rink is for the true hockey lover; blue-line offsides, and five on five games.  Problem is, the rink is in terrible shape, and doesn't get used.
Venetian Shores Park
         When Venetian Shores was decided to be just unplayable, the Rinkrats went to this puck rink in Massapequa.  It's a smooth outdoor rink, great for 4 on 4.  It's main flaw is lacking blue lines.  But what can you do?  The boards are better than the plywood used at Venetian.
Marjorie R. Post Park
         This 100x50 square hockey rink hosts a dek-hockey league on weekends, so its kept in better shape than the above rinks.  It's a very crude rink, though it is fairly lit for night games.  Puck is tricky on the surface, but it's still the best option in the area for free night hockey, even if it's ball hockey.
Sawyer Avenue WBYC
         Long Beach does have the stink from the nearby garbage incinerators (or is it the water?).  Either way, the rink is a godsend in one way; it's very soft and doesn't wear down stick blades and wheels.  The problem?  You need very soft wheels, and even with them, you'll still slip and fall.
Long Beach City Park
         On the West Side of Manhattan, this outdoor rink has one of the best views of Midtown in the city.  One thing you won't enjoy is the constant noise of tourists and the smell of New Jersey.  With a surface very similar to Post, it's a great rink for 4 on 4 puck, but is usable for 5 on 5 play.
