Lighting was predictably piss-poor (flourescents and incandescents, mixed, plus the off-white of the rink) and flash was not allowed. I used Fuji 800 color negative film. The film returned amazingly good, low grain negs with excellent skin tones and good saturated colors, pretty close to accurate, even under such wretched lighting circumstances. It was processed at the usual photofinishing lab with no special instructions. That's my vote.
