The Jaap Eden baan is an ice rink. It is located in the Watergraafsmeer, a neighbourhood in the east of Amsterdam. The rink is named after the famous Dutch Ice Skater Jaap Eden.
It contains a 400-metre lane and an ice hockey stadium. The stadium is the home of the semi-professional team, Amsterdam G's, of the NIJB Eredivisie, and the amateur Amstel Tijgers of the Eerste Divisie.
Famous quotes containing the word eden:
“Is Eden out of time and out of space?
And do you gather about us when pale light
Shining on water and fallen among leaves,
And winds blowing from flowers, and whirr of feathers
And the green quiet, have uplifted the heart?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
