Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5277564, member: 12414"] The only time we played tackle in the street is when it snowed. The plowing was not always consistent in the 70’s and you could get that hard pack from just the cars. We figured it was not much harder than turf so when that happened we played tackle in the street. But that was only if we could not get a street hockey game going. We had goals made with two by fours and chicken wire. And then you would hear the dreaded car and we would have to rush to get the goals out of the middle of the street. It was the goalies job to look for the cars they were actually goalies with pads mask goalie stick and a baseball glove first baseman’s mitt. But those snow banks that the plows made worked perfectly as side boards and the checking always picked up when they got to be three or four feet high. Those games were a blast. [/QUOTE]
