===Sports=== [[File:Charles M. Schulz Highland Arena.JPG|right|thumb|upright=1.2|Charles M. Schulz Highland Arena on Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway in Saint Paul, Minnesota]] Schulz had a long association with ice sports, and both [[figure skating]] and [[ice hockey]] featured prominently in his cartoons. In Santa Rosa, he owned the [[Redwood Empire Ice Arena]], which opened in 1969 and featured a snack bar called "The Warm Puppy".<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/> Schulz's daughter Amy served as a model for the figure skating in the television special ''[[She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown]]'' (1980). Schulz also was very active in senior ice-hockey tournaments; in 1975, he formed [[Snoopy's Senior World Hockey Tournament]] at his Redwood Empire Ice Arena, and in 1981, he was awarded the [[Lester Patrick Trophy]] for outstanding service to the sport of hockey in the United States.<ref>"[https://www.hhof.com/htmlsilverware/silver_splashlesterpatrick.shtml Legends of Hockey – Non-NHL Trophies – Lester Patrick Trophy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822213946/https://www.hhof.com/htmlsilverware/silver_splashlesterpatrick.shtml |date=August 22, 2018 }}," Hockey Hall of Fame (accessed June 2, 2016)</ref> Schulz also enjoyed golf and was a member of the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club from 1959 to 2000. In 1998, Schulz hosted the first Over-75 Hockey Tournament. In 2000, the Ramsey County Board in St. Paul, Minnesota, voted to rename the Highland Park Ice Arena the Charles M. Schulz–Highland Arena in his honor. Schulz also used his hockey rink for tennis exhibitions after meeting [[Billie Jean King]]. Many tennis pros played in the rink, including [[Roy Emerson]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://longreads.com/2019/04/16/its-tennis-charlie-brown/ |title=It's Tennis, Charlie Brown |last=Sauer |first=Patrick |date=April 16, 2019 |website=Longreads |access-date=April 16, 2019}}</ref>
