Playing on the frozen puddle in front of my house growing up was always the coolest part of the winter. The ice wasn’t good, wasn’t big, but it was fun.

The rink I used to play in growing up (Caz), was roof-less back in the 70s. Couldn’t imagine playing all home games, outside in Buffalo. Just a bit cold.

A few years ago, the NHL had it’s first outdoor “pond hockey” game. Edmonton (where game was played) vs. Montreal.

Now…it’s Buffalo’s turn. The place everyone associates with winter and snow. The lake effect queen city. The pond? Rich Stadium. Home of the Bills…the team who holds the record for the most losses in a row in the Super Bill (4).
