At first its a very daunting task for a young one to strap on two boots with steel blades attached. Once over the emotional and mental barriers the confidence builds. Who knows this boy could be the next Wayne Gretzky. We all have to start somewhere. I will never forget the cool crisp air and the sounds the blades made as we spent the entire day out playing hockey or chasing our sisters around. Back then, Mom had to yell to get us to come back into the house.

All the effort that has gone into making and maintaining this rink is worth it for a moment like this. Nice shot Ed.
Beautiful and it evokes emotion. I love it.
Touching comment; stunning Canadiana photo. This would look wonderful on Tim Hortons’ Christmas cups next year.
