Wintry scenes and pond hockey for many...
🏒 ❄️
Some things remain the same as playing at the rink:
nets, pucks, sticks, players, goalies
Some things are very different:
if you have enough snow, there`s makeshift boards
snow, cold, wind, the thrill!
When our waterways freeze, we love getting out there for some pond hockey. This photo was taken on Presque Isle Bay in Erie, PA.
If you`ve played pond hockey, let us know what you love about it. If you haven`t played but want to, let us know what sounds amazing about it. Comment below ⬇️
