Great shots, David. I love the mouth one. No snow or ice down here in
Southern
California. I am disappointed that there is no snow forecast for Yosemite
this week when we were planning on heading back home. Just rain. I don't
think Yosemite would be any different from many places in the winter with
rain. It was so magical last year in the snow.

Subject: [LRflex] Pond Hockey
Our tiny hamlet of 2300 souls, is host, every year, to the Western
Cup of Pond Hockey.
Pond Hockey is exactly what it says ... hockey played on a pond...
outdoors... where it should be played! The game is played with a
very low goal (no goalie) and with 5 players to a team - 4 on the
ice, one resting. No body contact is allowed and there are no breaks
in the action, except when the puck goes outside the rink ... and
someone has to go dig it out of the snow!
A game consists of 2, 15 minute periods, with a 5 minute rest, in between.
This year, conditions were ideal, with temperatures in the -8 to +2
range, and no wind. Contrast that to 2007, when temps were in the
-29C range, and last year when it was mild, but they got 30cm (12")
of snow, each day, making it difficult to skate and to keep the rinks clean!
As I work my way through the shots, here are some of the first "rough cuts".
Trying to get a goal...

A shot is a shot ...but how accurate it is all depends on how you
hold your tongue...

Of course, in any game, there is always a race for the puck...

C&C welcomed, as always.
Cheers!
