PICTURE PERFECT
For 62 years, Charles W. Appleton Arena has hosted some of the best collegiate hockey in the nation, along with Commencements,
concerts, youth hockey drills, figure skating revues, trade shows, energy fairs and more. Known far and wide as one of the NCAA’s most
hallowed barns, it retains its wood-plank bench seating and remains a mecca for many Laurentians and Cantonians on winter weekend
evenings. For thoughts by the two Laurentian-Cantonians who as head hockey coaches call Appleton their workplace, see page 7.
