Episode Description

In this episode, the Sick Man talks about the Canadiana Roller Rink.

For a generation of kids growing up in Aurora, Newmarket, and the surrounding area, the Canadiana Roller Rink was more than just a a place to skate. It was a place almost everyone seemed to pass through, and decades later it’s still one of those places people immediately start talking about when it’s mentioned.

Along the way he explores the history of roller skating, why the Canadiana became such a fixture of local childhood, nostalgia, school field trips, cruising, moonlighting, first crushes, and the strange social world that existed inside the rink.

Also featuring: an unhealthy amount of 80s music.

This is the Canadiana Roller Rink.
