The memory is the first thing to go. I completely forgot about our half-finished box hockey set until this evening, when I got a comment from this place. It's not the same game, but it still looks pretty cool. I'll finish up our series this week sometime, although judging from the lack of feedback I don't think anyone was paying all that much attention. :)

Posted by: Ted at October 17, 2004 05:22 PMMy memories of Box Hockey is more like mc30tx. Our box was probably 4'x8' made with 2x8's with a single hole in each end and two holes on the board in the center. We played with sticks and a plywood puck. The challenger got to call whether it was a "fast" game or "slow" game. The Rec set it up on the sidewalk under the overhang of the school.
