The name Pond Hockey conjures images of a group of kids getting together all across Canada and the U.S. playing some pick-up hockey.

Well the guys at SnagFilms have put together an incredible film about this winter past-time.

The film includes interviews from NHL greats including Wayne Gretzky, Neal Broten, and Sidney Crosby as they discuss “The pond” where hockey was born. Pond Hockey asks: is there room for the free spirit of the pond in today’s sports experience, or will the open sky and howling winds give way to whistles and metal ceilings?”

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
