Pond Hockey DVD
For most northern tier kids, the first experience is on natural ice on a pond or a flooded backyard. This video took me back to when the backyard games were simple and fun.

“Iced it”! Pond Hockety
I first saw the film “Pond Hockey” in Iowa City, Iowa this summer at the Landlocked Film Festival and loved it! Having lived in upstate New York, which is also “hockey country”, I was fascinated to watch the story unfold. This film was not just about following the National Pond Hockey championships, it was addressing the concern about the disappearance of the culture of pond hockey. The minute I viewed this film, I knew that it was a great film to buy for my brother-in-law who constructs his own pond to play hockey on each winter. When he unwrapped his Christmas gift, he was delighted and my sister reported that he watched the whole movie immediately and shared it with other pond hockey lovers in the family. In 28 years, this was the first time ever that I “iced it” when selecting a gift for my brother-in-law. Our family highly recommends this film to everyone who loves hockey and those who want to “catch their passion”!

Interesting, a good glimpse at the attraction of hockey.
With a grandson addicted to hockey, the movie really explores how this addiction can carry on well beyond the individuals competitive years in rink hockey. A great sport.

Reflecting on the good ol’ days
I’m about 43 now. I grew up in the farmland of Illinois with a pond across the street and a river running behind our house. Unfortunately, I did not get into hockey (leagues, pick-up)until I moved to Texas about 14 years ago. This movie makes me see the opportunity that I missed. Wow… I had frozen fun waiting for me all winter and just took it for granted. Some day I will make up for it. I will return to my hometown (900 miles away) in the winter months with skates, stick and puck and I’ll skate on that pond and the river. You guys who were able to enjoy pond hockey as kids are truly blessed. It’s very sad that kids only go to the indoor rinks now days. There is a quote in this movie that says it all, “I wish I could be 8 years old again, just for a few days.”

I grew up in northern Minnesota where hockey was king! Brought back a lot of memories!

Beautiful documentary tracing the history of hockey culture — but …
Beautiful documentary tracing the history of hockey culture — but really made me look at the way we raise kids now vs. 40 years ago; the life-lessons today’s children are missing out on when we over-parent. Made me look at how I raise my daughter and challenge myself to give her the space to negotiate the life-lessons she is confronted with on her own rather than stepping-in, protect her, or save myself from embarrassment.

Eh if you don’t play hockey – OK if you do
Thought it would contain more clips from pros.Not bad by any stretch – just not what I expected.This is basically footage of a non contact, no goalie outdoor hockey tournament, mixed with a little backstory of each of the members of the two featured teams.I had slightly different expectations, but the film wasn’t a bust.
