Growing up with 3 Brothers we were always looking for ways to Play
the game of Hockey. Whether it be on the Ice or in the Driveway or
Backyard. But one particular game we used to play was Sock Hockey in
the Hallway of our Family home.
This was a great way to
enjoy a really long January afternoon when it was to cold to go
outside. After all, all you needed was a pair of old socks for a puck
and a hallway with enough room to shoot and score off the boards and you
were all set.
We used to Play tournaments, organized
of course by our oldest brother, he was always planning and setting the
rules for the game. The Rules were simple: You Play One on One, You
have to stay Seated, you can only use your Hands to Shoot with, no Shot
over the shoulder would count as a goal and the game was over when
somebody reached 10.
Tournament could be designed and
changed on the go of course. But our most common ways were modeled
after the game we loved to play, best of 3, best of 5 and best of 7 for
the championship. If those walls in that hall could talk they would
tell of some of the greatest games ever played by 4 brothers who loved
the game of hockey. Games where the Greats were called in to play for
key moments. Greats like Lafleur, Shutt, Dryden, Orr and Sittler to
Mention a few.
We would like for you to organize a
Sock Hockey League in your family home or anywhere there's a hall and 2
walls and create some great memories of your own and share them with us
in whatever format you like.
Send us your Sock Hockey
League Videos, Photos or Stories and we will share them here. You can
send them to upperdecktalk@gmail.com. Cheers.
