Grand Ol' Barns

Lynah Rink is, well, decrepit or atmospheric, depending on your sensibilities and whether you have to use the locker rooms. But it is, indisputably, one of the oldest buildings in the ECAC. It may surprise a lot of people, however, to learn that two-thirds of the buildings in the conference are at least as old as your editors (34). Take it from us; that's old!
