Hockey country

"SCORRRES!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Your dog got in the way - again."
"Well, it's not his fault. He loves to chase the puck, too, y'know."

Ah, yes, the coveted puck. Children assume warrior status as they spend hours chasing that black disk across the ice. Nothing can stop them - not frozen fingers and toes, interference from excited dogs, grumbling tummies, nor Mom shouting "Dinner!" from the distance.

"Just 5 more minutes!"

It's a scene that has played out on frozen ponds across rural Canada for generations - and as the cities and suburbsgrew, so did the popularity of the game as children both young and old took to the streets to whack a ball instead of a puck.

Today, whether children face-off on a city block, a neighbourhood street ora country pond; the spirit of the game remains the same. Bonds of friendship forged through fun and play, while dreams of hockey greatness shout from inside oversized jerseys.
