The huge ice rink sadly closed down for good in the 80s, with the building gutted by fire not long after.
Forget the Time Capsule, for Glaswegians of a certain age, Crossmyloof Ice Rink really was the best fun in a million years - even if it was a little past its sell by date towards the end.
Moth-balled during the Second World War, when it was briefly used for military storage purposes, the rink bounced back in the late 1940s to etch its way into the memories of a whole new generation of youngsters.The venue was the home of the popular and hugely-successful Glasgow Mohawks ice hockey team, and regularly hosted curling matches featuring local teams battling against visitors from as far away as Canada.
"Always remember falling in the last half hour when the rink was awash with water, then sitting on the train home freezing with soaking pants, and eating a frozen Jubbly." Elaine Graham added: "Went here when I was about 11 years old with my primary school Always remember the old skating boots and skating to all the Beatles and the Searchers hits of the time. Great memories."Crossmyloof Ice Rink closed for the final time in February 1986.
