"A documentary film examines the changing culture of hockey--from backyard rinks to climate-controlled arenas. Crosscut with insightful interviews is the story of the first-ever U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, a tournament created to recapture the purity and youthful spirit native to the pond. Chronicling the shared story of rink rats and hockey stars like Wayne Gretzky ... Pond Hockey searches the open ice for the true meaning of sport."--Container.

"This film contains some mild language and thematic elements which may be inappropriate for young children"--Container.
