"The Lonely End of the Rink" comes from World Container, the Tragically Hip's tenth studio album, which reached Canadian stores on October 17, 2006, and fittingly for a song with a rink in its title, it got its first airing on Hockey Night in Canada ten days earlier, on October 7. The writing credit goes to all five players on the track: Gord Downie, who sings it, electric guitarists Rob Baker and Paul Langlois, bassist Gord Sinclair and drummer Johnny Fay.
Bob Rock produced, with Eric Helmkamp and Jamey Koch engineering, and the album came together in several places, Maui, Vancouver and Toronto among them. In concert Downie joked that the record's title was really a typo, and that it ought to read "World Contain Her".
