If you build it, they will come. That was the famous line used in the movie "Field of Dreams," but for Coach Jeremy Rupke, the same notion can be applied to the sport of hockey.
Coach Jeremy works for HockeyShot, a company that specializes in training aids that can help increase a variety of skills for any hockey player.
During a family vacation in Quebec, Jeremy was desperate to strap on the skates and play some hockey. Using HockeyShot's synthetic ice, Jeremy built a floating dock and placed synthetic ice panels on top for the rink of his dreams.
And wouldn't you know it, NHLers Yanni Gourde, Philip Danult and Mark Barberio all showed up!
Now, you'd think there would be one major problem here: the pucks would sink whenever they were shot off surface.
Well, coach Jeremy came prepared for that!
