About Pond Hockey
Shinny needs very little. A patch of ice will do, and a puck, or a frozen lump of something close to one, and enough kids to argue about whether that last shot went in. Sticks get piled in the middle to sort the teams, and a pair of boots at each end stands in for the net. The game breaks up when it's too dark to see the puck, and everyone walks home with wet mittens and a mug of cocoa waiting.
