Tonsil hockey, yes. Street hockey, no. Growing up in St. Paul I played Street hockey. Basically you play hockey in the street. Put on roller skates, I guess that would be roller blades today. Put out a couple of goals that are easy to move. Grab a puck, we used a really dead tennis ball or crushed beer cans. Get your hockey stick and behave badly. Time outs are announced "CAR"!. Don't know that penalties existed. Hey, it was the 70s, Dino and the great one were playing a rough game. You did keep score but play usually ended with an injury Good times on North Pascal Street John, we have a full size goal in our garage for the driveway, and a smaller, 3 x 5 goal that disassembles quickly to go in the back of the truck for Hurricanes game tailgating. When I was a kid on Riverside Avenue in South Baltimore, the street action was Nerf football, from one telephone pole to the next for end zones. We didn't play any hockey growing up, or even when I lived in Rochester, MN. I had to move to the South to become a huge hockey fan.
