Playing hockey doesn't require a sheet of ice.
Growing up in the Chicagoland area, Blackhawks goaltender Scott Darling and forward Ryan Hartman spent time playing hockey anywhere they could — even if that meant ice wasn't involved.
As part of the Blackhawks #OurRinks campaign, Darling and Hartman took a trip around Chicago to see where kids are honing their hockey skills when they aren't on the ice.
The Blackhawks duo found hockey taking place in a basement, a driveway and an alley, and every stop they declared each place an official practice rink of the Chicago Blackhawks with an honorary flag.
