Caption
A hockey rink, shovelled out of the frozen surface of a river, has often been the cradle of a great hockey career. Divided into two groups, the players learn to stick-handle through a maze of opponents, mastering at the same time the difficult art of skating for hockey - sudden stops and bursts of great speed.

Hockey begins early in the lives of Canadian boys, and every town and hamlet has a league, usually supervised by Service Club, Civic or Church organization.
