⚫ | '''Pond hockey''' is a form of [[ice hockey]] similar in its object and appearance to traditional ice hockey, but simplified and designed to be played on part of a natural frozen body of water. The [[hockey rink|rink]] is 50 to 80 percent the size of a standard NHL-specification rink, and has no boards or glass surrounding it; usually only a barrier of snow keeps the puck in play. In addition, because there are no protective barriers behind the goal to contain high errant shots, the top of the goal is lower, in fact only slightly taller than the width of a puck, and the game does not have a formal [[goaltender|goalie]]. Because of these differences, pond hockey places more emphasis on skating and puckhandling ability and less on shooting and checking. Non-competitive pond hockey is played with improvised goals, rinks of a variety of sizes, and no boards or snow barriers. |

Pond hockey is just like indoor [[ice hockey]] but is played outdoors and most of the time on a lake or pond. Pond hockey in tournaments is played four on four but when playing casually there are no set number of players on a team. There are no goalies in pond hockey, the goals can range anywhere from being regular hockey nets to people's shoes.<ref>http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/CAXX0385</ref> Since pond hockey started the popularity has soared, official pond hockey tournaments are found across the globe. Pond hockey tournaments have entwined the concept of youth pick-up- hockey into a serious art form. The rink can range from any size or shape, they typically resemble a regular indoor ice hockey rink. Some pond hockey rinks use boards, however in most the surrounding snow makes a good substitute. In some of the more prominent pond hockey tournaments official ice hockey boards are used. One rink for example, the rink from the [[U.S. Pond Hockey Championship]] is set up into {{convert|155|ft|m|sing=on}} long ovals.<ref>[http://wcco.com/sports/pond.hockey.nokomis.2.628511.html wcco.com - Rinks Go Up For Pond Hockey Championships<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
