Whitley Bay Ice Rink is an ice rink in Whitley Bay and is the home of the Whitley Warriors ice hockey team. It is the only permanent ice rink in the north east of England and has a ten-pin bowling centre in the area upstairs.

It was also the region’s premier concert venue until the Newcastle Arena (now MetroRadio Arena) opened in 1995. The venue played host to the top names in the music industry throughout the 1980s and 1990s, such as The Cure in 1985, the Pet Shop Boys in 1991, Oasis in 1996 and the Stone Roses in 1995.

In 2005, the ice rink was used to film BBC sitcom Thin Ice. Even though the series was set in Derby, Whitley Bay Ice Rink was chosen because the production company had used the venue on numerous occasions in the past. Although Whitley Bay Ice Rink is not mentioned in the credits, Whitley Bay is mentioned where the British Championships were to be held there.

In 2006 the ice rink was criticized by local authorities after demonstrating exceedingly poor fire regulations when a blaze was discovered. Skaters continued on the ice whilst the fire escalated.

In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender’s view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly “don’t screen the goaltender”, or “the goalie was screened“. Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie’s view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a shot.

An ice shanty (also called a fishing shanty, fish house, bobhouse, or ice hut) is a portable shed placed on a frozen lake to provide shelter during ice fishing. They can be as small and cheap as a plastic tarp draped over a frame of two-by-fours, or as expensive as a small cabin with heat, bunks, electricity and cooking facilities.

Many northern communities have developed bodies of laws about the operation of ice shanties - frequently including dates by which they must be removed, even if the ice can still hold them.Remove Bobhouses Today!

Folklore

In northern climates, ice shanties are the center of a large, often humorous, folklore. Fishermen often decorate their ice shanties in humorous ways (toilets are a popular joke addition), while others studiously work on ways to make their ice shanties more comfortable and efficient. Much of the folklore involves the inherent danger of erecting a structure atop a frozen pond. A common saying goes that every lake has at least one bobhouse on the bottom (at least one snowmobile, too).

The Blackfoot River, sometimes called the Big Blackfoot River to distinguish it from the Little Blackfoot River, begins in western Montana 10 miles northeast of the town of Lincoln, then flows westward until it enters the Clark Fork River 5 miles east of the city of Missoula at the town of Milltown.
The Blackfoot is renowned for its fly fishing and was the principle fishing location for the book and movie A River Runs Through It. The Blackfoot is a fast, cold river with many deep spots, making it prime habitat for several varieties of trout, and is excellent for canoeing and rafting with rapids up to category 3.

MT Highway 200 runs parallel to the Blackfoot River from McNamara to Milltown. The highway is subject to hazardous driving conditions in the winter, particularly black ice.

The canyon the river lies in and the valleys below were formed by what geologists refer to as Missoula Floods–the result of an enormous break of an ice jam, draining a gigantic lake.
