What visitors say
The Wilmington at the Ristuccia Arena is what some people call it. The rink is pretty decent but definitely lost some edge to it since the Boston Bruins left town. The rink served as the Boston Bruins practice facility for years I think…
Now under new ownership, this place is getting better. Nice pro shop, a snack shop, and they upgraded the speaker system, which was embarrassing before.
This place needs a lot of work. It's better than when the Bruins were there as they recently updated the lighting so you can see but the ice is terrible. The lines are barely visible and there's no dot at center ice. Only 1 locker room…
