The once-glorious Iceland ice rink had been in a sad state of disrepair for many, many years before we managed to convince the city of Berkeley that we'd be able to repair it while keeping its heritage intact. In 2014 we acquired the building and did just that: signs describing the original ice rink are posted throughout the store, and we refurbished the scoreboard as well as the Iceland roof sign and kept the original roof sign, which is mounted behind our front registers. The rest of the store is unchanged from its ice rink days (minus the ice) and yes, it can get kinda cold in there! If you have a very keen eye, you might be able to find some ice skates and other accessories that we recovered and built into our fixtures at the store. Berkeley is lovingly led by General Manager Tom Purcell, who has been with Sports Basement since 2012.
