2 Nancy, there was, but I can't find it in the archives. I'll recreate it and post the link here in the comments. Thanks for asking.

3 Part 4 (the final part) is here: http://rocketjones.mu.nu/archives/069299.html

1 If you're looking for a Box Hockey set that is ready to go and virtually indestructible check out www.box-hockey.com

2 do you have instructions for constructing the frame at this point and what to do with the hardboard?

6 part three of the series is here.

7 The Bloomington (Minnesota) Park and Rec dept during the 1960s opened all the gradeschool playground and (winter) skating warminghouse playgrounds for summer and supplied them with many games and activities including box hockey. Starting at age five I would take on the bigger kids usually going to Humboldt Heights Elementary or Bryant Park. Kids would be just lined up to play on several of these games. And they were all durably constructed, painted, 2x8 boards, about 3 feet by 8 feet long and played with a real hockey puck and sawed off hockey sticks. It had a slightly larger than hockey puck slot on each end for the goal and a middle divider with a slot on each side and one on top used for the face-off. And a heavy sheet metal bottom (we would sprinkle sand on to make the puck glide) Now the challenger would always get to call the game ..fast or slow, and whether the game allowed each player to have one or two consecutive shots. Usually two if you were only allowed to push the puck (not allowing your stick touch the sides of the box.) Unless topping was allowed then making it so you could push, turn, and manipulate your stick in any way to shoot, up untill your stick lifted from off the puck. And that was the end of your turn. Then there was the game called 'two-shot-follow' where you took turns just bringing the puck on your side of the center to the slot on the side and took careful aim, and then slammed it through the slot toward the opposiing goal! What fun!

9 Hello, i too played Box hockey in Minnesota, back in the 70 's as akid, I remember the wood frame and the slow and fast game. It was nice to be a TOM boy back then and to beat the boys in this hockey game. Please send me the rules and info on how to make the box frame. I am hopeing our woodshop at the school can make them and we can have some fun games for the kids again. Thanks Gretchen

10 The summers of my youth in the early 70's were spent playing box hockey at our neighborhood school. We couldn't get enough of the game!!! Each year the Parks and Rec Dept. in Ferndale, Michigan would sponsor summer activities at our local schools. Along with crafts, talent shows, and various other games, the highlight was box hockey. Recently, I have been longing to introduce the game to my own children, and maybe slap that little black puck around myself! Having come across this site, I was both excited and disappointed. The game I had grown up with is a little different than those mentioned. Ours was made of, literally, two box frames of ?2x6s, nailed together. The two ends had cut outs in the middle of the frame just higher than a hockey puck. The middle boards had slots cut in the outside quarters. The sticks were cut-down hockey sticks that looked like little oars. We used to sharpen our sticks on the concrete. The box's bottom was the sidewalk. Does anyone know this version and how to make it? Longing in North Carolina

11 I am looking for instructions to build a box hockey with just one middle board with 2 holes. I played this gane in the 70's. I also would like to have the rules to this style. Thanks!
