A Kirkcaldy ice rink since 1938
Fife Ice Arena in Kirkcaldy has been an ice rink since 1938. Kirkcaldy Dean of Guilds Court approved plans to build it in the Gallatown on 17 February 1938. The one-storey building contained seating for 4,500, and Lord Elgin performed the opening ceremony.
The ice measures 195 feet by 97 feet, full size for ice hockey and enough for six curling rinks. Its 145-foot roof span, with no supporting pillars except those at the extremities, was the widest of its type in Scotland in 1938. Making the ice takes 18 miles of piping, some 10 miles of it under the rink floor.
Great Britain's 1936 Olympic gold medal sparked an ice hockey boom across the UK, and the Fife Flyers remain the only survivor from it, still playing in their original building under their original name. The club was founded in 1938 and competes in the Elite Ice Hockey League. The outbreak of World War Two stifled the wider hockey boom.
