SARANAC LAKE â It used to be a warehouse for vending machines and pool tables. Soon it will be a brewhouse. But for now, itâs essentially a roller rink.
The former Amusement and Vending building on Woodruff Street was recently purchased by Lake Placid Pub and Brewery owners Chris and Catherine Ericson for a new Saranac Lake brewing location. But before they start construction, their son C.J., who plays for the 12-and-under Sara-Placid Red hockey team, has seen its potential for a place to practice with stick and ball.
The Ericsons built an ice rink in their backyard over the winter, so as warm weather melted the ice, C.J. swapped ice skates for rollerblades. On Tuesday he was practicing shots on goal with his friend and teammate Owen Lawrence. The wide-open space is the perfect size for hockey drills. It even has a concrete ramp the boys have learned to skate up and down.
