River Pond Classic Shinny Hockey Tournament 2011

11th Annual River Pond Classic Shinny Hockey Tournament Both the River Pond Classic Shinny Hockey Tournament and The Forks are about bringing people together. Shinny is an informal type of hockey played on ice or the street. There are no formal rules or specific positions, and generally, there are no goaltenders. Bodychecking and lifting or "roofing/reefing/raising the puck" shooting the puck so it rises above the ice is forbidden because the players are not wearing protective equipment. It may also be called pick-up hockey,pond hockey or "outdoor puck". Shinny is a game that welcomes all levels of hockey enthusiasts to play because you don t have to have any skill or even, any previous hockey experience. The River Pond Classic Shinny Hockey Tournament is completely non-competitive and recreational. The score doesn t matter, except perhaps for bragging rights....until next year.
