West Park Ice Palace, Philadelphia game from December 12, 1900, between home team Quaker City Hockey Club and the Princeton University team. Game finished 6-0 in favor of the Quaker City hockey clubbers. This arena, the West Park Ice Palace, burned down later the same season, in one of the earlier months of 1901.

The pic to the right (for some reason I can't see it while I'm logged in but I can when I'm not) reads 'Winter Garden'. It's apparently the interior of the Winter Garden arena in San Francisco, CA where the two teams met again in some kind of "World Championships" series a short while after the 1917 SC finals.

The First Hockey Rink in Sault, Michigan was called the "Ridge Street Ice-A-Torium."(Also a Curling Rink)
Built in the early 1900's.
