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:
“For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
The Eden that all wish to recreate
Out of their living, from their favourite times;
The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
Once more articulate....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
