Shinny was informal enough that the pucks and sticks were often makeshift. During the American Great Depression, for example, northern boys used tree branches or broomhandles as sticks, and a tin can as a puck. (After many games, the can would begin to resemble a metal ball.) The name is probably derived from the Scottish game Shinty . Shinny hockey, a primarily Canadian term, is usually called Scrimmage or ''' Pick-up Hockey ''' in the United States . "Shinny" can also refer to a game played on your knees with sticks about a foot and a half in length. The goals are also a foot in a half in height, and about 2 feet in width. This game is usually played between around six players where there is one goalie, and two shooteres. The game is played indoors and in small rooms or areas. EXTERNAL LINKS |
