Carlin's Iceland was an indoor artificial ice arena in Baltimore, Maryland, that was part of a city amusement park, known as Carlin's Park. It opened in December 1931, and was Baltimore's first indoor rink.[1] The building was converted from a ballroom, to an ice surface measuring 85 × 120 ft (26 × 36.5 m), and seating for 1,200 people.[2] In the first winter of operation, Iceland hosted school teams, before it was expanded for the following season.[2] The Baltimore Orioles in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League played at Carlin's from 1932 to 1942.[3] In its renovated setup, Iceland held 3,000 spectators, hosted annual winter carnivals, and once hosted a Sonja Henie show.[1]
Subsequent hockey teams to play at Iceland include, the United States Coast Guard Cutters from 1942 to 1944,[4] and the Baltimore Blades/Baltimore Clippers from 1944 to 1949 in the EAHL,[5][6][7] and a revived Baltimore Clippers team from 1954 to 1956, in the EHL.[8][9] Carlin's Iceland burned down on January 23, 1956, when an explosion ignited the building, causing an estimated $175,000 in damages.[10] Baltimore had 12 games remaining in its schedule at the time.[10]
