Tulane University Admissions Blog- Laura: Mardi Gras 2011

by Laura

Obviously I'm going to start with Mardi Gras, any Tulane student's favorite holiday, week, month, season (. ). Traditionally I start counting down for the start of parades on the day after Christmas. On campus, I am involved with Undergraduate Student Government, Green Wave Ambassadors, Tulane University Neuroscience Association, Pre-Med Society, Science and Engineering Honor Society, and Pi Beta Phi. I'm a Junior at Tulane from Knoxville, TN. I'm majoring in Neuroscience and am also Pre-Med. Can't bring me down though-- there's nothing I enjoy more than throwing on a Perlis Mardi Gras rugby , some shiny purple leggings from American Apparel, and my rainboots. There are a few other accessories thrown into the Mardi uniform-- my handy, neon green fanny pack, a wide assortment of tutus, and occasionally seersucker  Converse (gotta rep my roots. Geaux Green Wave. then proceeding to not change outfits for 3-5 days, depending on the year.

"It's a relic of a world I knew growing up," said Leonard Alsfeld, of the ramshackle rink known as Leo's.

Alsfeld, a former center iceman for Providence College in Rhode Island, moved to New Orleans in 1981. From a warehouse in Elmwood and shopping center rinks in Kenner and eastern New Orleans to the Municipal Auditorium and New Orleans Arena, Alsfeld has seen numerous incarnations of ice rinks and hockey leagues in the New Orleans area come and almost inevitably disappear.

Until a few years ago when Alsfeld was injured after slamming head first into the boards, he played weekly in Baton Rouge.

Alsfeld devoted much of his hockey talent to creating an inline youth hockey league in New Orleans, which had a successful run for nearly 15 years, but no longer exists.

Next door to the ice rink, owner L. Perry Seaman also runs a larger and more modern roller skating rink, though currently there aren't any inline hockey leagues. An entrepreneurial carpenter during the depression, Seaman's father Leo opened the roller rink in 1946. The ice rink opened in 1976. The ice was on hiatus from 1983 to 1996, largely due to a spike in the cost of utilities, Seaman said. The Leo's complex has been on the market for 10 years, nevertheless it's clear Seaman genuinely enjoys the unique day-to-day operations, nearly all of which he does himself.
