Stories From Black River

Hockey At Its Finest (S2 Ep 5)


Listen Later

Memories of hockey played by rural children during the 1950's and 60's in Black River. Whereever there was a frozen pond hockey was played.

Story written by Zane Long, voiced and recorded by Ian Purdy. Ed Schofield added the sound effects.

Zane added a little bit of information following the story: 

" One time Bruce Long used his grandfather's (Leverett Long) grinder in the blacksmith shop to sharpen my skates.  Although Bruce said he'd "just touch them up a little", he ground the sides of the blades such that all I could do after that was skate in a straight line.  Turning was impossible. It took a little work to get those blades back to a more or less proper edge."
