Wintertime Fun
A snowy, improvised rink near Sydney on Cape Breton Island provides a playing arena for this young hockey team. Ice hockey is a Canadian invention, supposedly dreamed up in Kingston, Ontario, during the winter of 1855 by soldiers who adapted their field hockey equipment to the ice. Outdoor sports rank high among Canadians' favorite activities.
