Neighbors band together to build backyard hockey rink for neighborhood kids, with a large tree inside the blue line

by Phil Stilton

WINNIPEG, CANADA – Residents of Winnipeg, Canada, made the best of the below-freezing temperatures by creating an ice hockey rink on their street. The homemade rink spans multiple backyards and has an interesting feature you don’t see in many ice rinks in North America, a large tree growing right across the blue line from the neutral zone.

Another thing you won’t see at a Winnipeg Jets game is a slide for players to get on the ice quickly, featured in this homemade masterpiece. The rink is made with a wooden frame and even has markings under the ice.
