Here's an interesting "Then and Now" article for several of the scenes filmed in Johnstown.

Would like to see something similiar for the rinks that were used, best I could find is this wiki paragraph:
Many scenes were filmed in the Cambria County War Memorial Arena[4] and Starr Arena in Hamilton, New York, the Utica Memorial Auditorium (used as "Peterborough" where the pre-game fight occurs and where a Hanson reprimands the referee for talking during the anthem), Onondaga County War Memorial in Syracuse, New York (used as "Hyannisport" where the Hanson Brothers charge into the stands to accost a fan and are subsequently arrested), and in other Johnstown locales.
