The Ingalls Hockey Rink at Yale was designed by modernist architect Eero Saarinen, It opened in 1959. The rink is knicknamed "The Whale." It is named after a father and son, one of whom captained Yale's hockey team in the '30s, the other in the '50s. The Ingalls family provided the bulk of the funds to build it.

Great lines, Jack.
Most interesting modern architectural style. It must remain functional as a hockey arena.
Looks kinda cool.
Eero is a great favorite in the crosswords as an architect who designed this and that. Now I know he was was a hockey player too. I like the building!
I like the curves.
