New name for Slap Shot rink

-

A regional bank is paying $720,000 for naming rights to a Pennsylvan­ia hockey rink made famous in the cult hockey comedy Slap Shot.

The deal means the building will now be known as 1st Summit Arena @ Cambria County War Memorial.

The arena was home to the defunct Johnstown Jets, a team whose fictionali­zed exploits were the focus of the 1977 Paul Newman film.
