Stallone had to rewrite some of the script for the original "Rocky" because he didn't have enough money, and those scenes became the greatest in the film. The ice skating scene was rewritten because he had no money for extras. The original ending had the crowd swooping in to carry Rocky out on their shoulders. I loved his anguished cries for his lady love much, much better.
The ice skating scene was absolutely great. I'm glad it was rewritten. I especially liked how he apparently knew the caretaker there who let them skate a few more minutes.
